What Can You Run On a Solar Generator?

October 28, 2022 by Portable Power Leave a Comment

Almost any small appliance, phone, laptop, or computer that plugs into an outlet and runs on electricity can run on a solar generator. Still, large appliances will quickly drain the battery. A significant drawback to a generator is the limited battery capacity and eventual power output. While a moderately sized portable solar generator may have the capacity to provide backup power for a full-sized refrigerator for a few hours, you won’t be able to use a solar generator to power an electric dryer or other heavy power load appliances. So some situations might call for a more conventional approach, like a dual fuel Duromax generator.

However, solar powered generators are excellent when used appropriately. Many solar generators will have various plugs and outputs, making it easy to charge a standard 120-volt appliance or use the 12-volt output. Several generators will also have handy USB ports, making them useful for quickly charging your mobile device or laptop.

A solar generator can be a lifesaver in an emergency that leads to a lack of power. Solar generators do not require traditional fuels like gasoline and can charge fully in about nine hours. With a single charge, you may be able to run a small mini-fridge on a solar generator for days or get several hundred charges for your mobile phone or laptop.

Check out our articles about the pros and cons of a solar generator for more info.
