What to look for when buying a solar generator
Now that we are acquainted with the prices of some of the popular solar generators in Nigeria, there’s one more thing. What should you look for when purchasing a solar generator? There are certain factors that you need to watch out for, and we have discussed them below.
Battery storage capacity
This is probably the most important factor to consider as it determines how long the generator will last on a single charge. Ensure that the battery storage capacity of your solar generator is properly stated. In some cases, manufacturers intentionally omit this. If you notice this, don’t purchase the solar generator.
Solar PV Input
This factor is what powers your solar generator. With this in place, you have continuous charging during the day while still using the generator. It also ensures that recharging times after nightfall is very low. Some solar generators don’t come with solar panels. You should avoid such. Also, avoid solar panels with long recharge times.
Other factors to watch out for include:
- Balanced system design.
- Portability
- Component quality.
- Inverter rating.
