Question 1

How do I know what size solar generator I need?

Accepted Answer

You can determine the size by calculating your total watt-hour (Wh) needs based on the appliances you plan to run and their usage time.
Example: A fridge (180W × 10h = 1,800Wh) plus lighting (20W × 5h = 100Wh) = 1,900Wh total, plus 20% extra for battery depth of discharge (DOD).

Question 2

Can a 1000W solar generator run a refrigerator?

Accepted Answer

Yes, most 1000W solar generators can run a standard 150–300W fridge, but only for a few hours depending on battery capacity.
For example, a 1000Wh generator can power a 180W fridge for around 5 hours before needing a recharge.

Question 3

What size solar generator is best for camping?

Accepted Answer

For light camping (lights, phone, laptop), 300–500Wh is enough. If you need to run cooking devices or small fridges, aim for 500–1000Wh with a 500W+ inverter.

Question 4

How many watts of solar panels do I need to charge my generator?

Accepted Answer

Choose solar panels that can fully charge your generator within 4–6 hours of sunlight. For example, a 1000Wh generator with 200W panels will take about 5 hours in good sunlight.

Question 5

What is the difference between rated and peak power in a solar generator?

Accepted Answer

Rated power is the continuous output the inverter can handle, while peak power is the short burst it can deliver to start appliances.
Appliances like fridges or pumps may need 3–5× their running wattage to start.
