What is a Whole-House Generator?

A whole-house generator, also known as a standby generator, is an automatic backup power system that kicks in during a power outage. Unlike conventional generators that rely on gas or propane, Keqi Energy offers high-capacity solar-powered solutions, such as our integrated inverter and lithium battery generator series (51.2V200Ah, 51.2V100Ah, 25.6V100Ah), that can keep your home running smoothly, rain or shine.

How Does a Solar Generator for Home Work? V.s How Does a Standby Generator Work?

A solar generator for home works by storing energy from the sun through solar panels and storing it in a lithium battery. When there’s a power outage, the stored energy is used to run appliances and lights, keeping your home powered without needing gas or fuel.

A standby generator is connected to your home’s electrical system. When the power goes out, it automatically starts and supplies power to your home using fuel like gas or propane. It’s typically installed outside your house and can power most household appliances.

How Long Can These Appliances Run on Keqi Energy Solar Generators?

With Keqi Energy’s all in one type solar generators ST series, here’s how long you can run different appliances based on the capacity of the system:

With Keqi Energy’s solar generators, the runtime of your appliances depends on the capacity of the system. For the 51.2V 200Ah (Large Capacity) model, you can expect lights to run for 10-12 days, a Wi-Fi router for 5-6 days, and a phone for over 20 days. Appliances like a laptop will run for 5-7 days, while a refrigerator will stay powered for 1-2 days. Heavy-duty items such as an electric heater or microwave will run for about 3-4 hours, while a coffee maker can function for 6-8 hours, and an air conditioner for 4-6 hours.

For the 51.2V 100Ah (Medium Capacity) model, the light will last for about 5-6 days, the Wi-Fi router for 2-3 days, and the phone for 10-12 days. A laptop can run for 3-4 days, while the refrigerator will operate for about 1 day. Power-hungry appliances like the electric heater or microwave can run for 2-3 hours, with the coffee maker running for 4-5 hours, and the air conditioner lasting for 2-3 hours.

The 25.6V 100Ah (Smaller Capacity) model provides a shorter runtime. For example, lights can last for 3-4 days, the Wi-Fi router for 1-2 days, and the phone for 7-10 days. A laptop will run for 2-3 days, and the refrigerator will stay powered for 12-16 hours. Heavy appliances like an electric heater, microwave, and electric kettle can run for 1-2 hours, while the coffee maker can function for 2-3 hours, and the air conditioner will last for 1-2 hours.

How to Choose a Whole House Generator

When choosing a whole-house generator, consider these factors:

1. Economics: While a solar-powered generator requires a higher initial investment, it can save you money in the long run due to its low operating costs and sustainability. Solar generators also reduce dependence on costly fuel sources like gas or propane.
2. Ease of Use: Solar-powered generators are easy to use, maintenance-free, and require minimal intervention. They are also much quieter compared to fuel-powered generators, making them ideal for residential areas. Standby generators, on the other hand, are more suitable for larger homes but require regular maintenance and a fuel supply.
3. Environmentally Friendly & Quiet: Solar-powered generators are the eco-friendly option, using clean, renewable energy from the sun. They produce no emissions, unlike fuel-powered generators, which contribute to air pollution. Solar generators also operate quietly, unlike standby generators that can be noisy and disruptive.A whole-house generator paired with solar panels is easy to set up. Simply connect the solar panels, and the device comes with built-in input and output ports for convenient installation and use. Designed with wheels, it offers excellent mobility. We also provide pre-configured solutions for your convenience.
