  2. Solar Generator - Homesteading Forum

    www.homesteadingtoday.com/threads/solar-generator.603994

    No, I don’t have any idea about this generator. I installed Goal Zero Yeti 1400 Lithium Portable Power Station in my house. I also don’t like gasoline or propane generators since they are not capable of supplying power for days. My solar generator Goal Zero Yeti is a ultra- high capacity power source, easily rechargeable and easy to set up.

  3. Anyone have or used a solar generator? Worth it?

    The whole scam of 'solar generator' really ----es me off, they are preying on peoples ignorance on the matter and WAY over charging for the POS. A decent generator that will give you 1200 watts continuous power and run 12 hours on a gallon of gas will cost you $200 from champion power equipment and i have run mine for 3000+ hours with no problem.

    Our solar begins fading in Oct through mid- Feb with being totally reliant on battery charging from the generator from Nov through Mid-Jan. As for a monthly pattern 2023 was pretty typical: Our year around power draw is a function of two deep freezers, two refrigerators (all EnergyStar) and the water well pump.

  6. HF Generator Return under Extended Warranty - Homesteading Forum

    www.homesteadingtoday.com/threads/hf-generator-return...

    An inverter generator, as I understand it, converts the AC power it generates to DC and then back to AC. In the process it cleans up the electricity, better sine wave, total harmonic distortion THD, and frequency. An inverter takes DC power from a battery bank (usually charged by solar panels) and converts it to AC.

    AngieM2. 39740 posts · Joined 2002. #4 · Jul 4, 2012. Generac and Honda are two of the brands my son-in-law sold in his Generator Store. He did not do the cheap stuff that is many times in the box stores. The Honda's and some Yamaha's seemed to be the preferred ones. And Generacs for whole houses and businesses.

The simplest way would be to simply let the car run and use an inverter with it. the alternator creates AC current and then runs through the rectifier to convert it to DC. That is the simple way, i am sure there are better ways to do it but in a pinch that would work.

  10. Running an Off the Grid Cabin on Propane? - Homesteading Forum

    www.homesteadingtoday.com/threads/running-an-off-the-grid...

    The previous homeowners used a generator, as best we can tell, to power the well pump and a few energy-intensive appliances like a washing machine or vacuum, and power tools. Everything else either ran off propane and/or a bank of solar cells and 12 volt car batteries.

  11. Steam vs Gasifier - Homesteading Forum

    www.homesteadingtoday.com/threads/steam-vs-gasifier.518621

    The main problem with a wood gas engine system is the fuel processing. The larger the gasifier, then the less fuel processing required. However, a large gasifier implies a large engine and charging system. This, in turn, implies a large battery. I think it can be practical if electricity loads are very low.
