Four Key Points of Solar Generators You Shouldn't Neglect

1. Battery Capacity: A Crucial Indicator of Energy Storage

The built-in battery capacity (unit: kWh) directly determines the efficiency of a solar power generator system's energy storage. It is the core guarantee for power supply when there is no sunlight. For example, if a device has a 1000Wh (1 kWh) built-in battery, when fully charged, it can power a 100W electrical appliance for about 10 hours. To ensure normal power usage during periods without sunlight, such as on rainy or cloudy days or at night, we highly recommend choosing a solar generator with a capacity 1.5 times your average daily power consumption.

2. MPPT Controller: The Decider of Solar Input Efficiency

This term might seem daunting, but it determines the maximum input power of the solar panels that the solar generator can be compatible with. For instance, if your solar generator has a 1000 kWh built-in battery and the MPPT only supports 100W input, it will take over 10 hours to charge using a 540W solar panel. Therefore, the MPPT determines the upper limit of the input power. The best approach is to check the average sunlight intensity in your area and then select a solar generator with a suitable MPPT according to your own needs. Try to ensure that you can fully charge the solar panels of the solar generator you choose within a day.

3. Output Power: A Core Parameter for Device Compatibility

As mentioned above, in addition to the maximum supported input power, another important related factor is the maximum output power. This concerns the upper limit of the power of electrical appliances that your solar generator can power. For example, if you want to use your solar generator to power a 100W rice cooker, you need to check the maximum output power of your solar generator to ensure it is greater than 100W. If it is lower, the rice cooker won't work.

The following table shows the applicable device types corresponding to different output power ranges.

4. UPS Function: Medical-Grade Assurance for Uninterrupted Power Supply

UPS stands for Uninterrupted Power Supply. It was previously mainly used in places like hospitals to avoid losses caused by sudden power outages, such as an increase in the storage temperature of vaccines due to a power outage, leading to vaccine failure, or a surgical procedure being interrupted. With the development of technology, Mindtech's Solar Generator also supports this function. You can simply connect Mindtech's solar generator to your refrigerator or freezer to ensure a continuous power supply and keep food fresh.
