Solar Generators - The key to having power in your house, no matter rain or shine

Solar Generators will be the eco-friendly power source for the next generation.

With the notion of going 'green' in today's society, there is a greater emhapsis on alternative power sources. From electrical cars to solar power, many had been exploring ways to contribute to the environment by adopting more green-friendly power sources.

Solar power has been around for decades and had been touted as a viable energy source for the future. In today's urban cities, where most are living in skyscrapers, having a solar-powered system may not be possible. This is because most buildings especially the older ones are not equipped with solar power panels. 

With the advance in technology, companies like Ecoflow provide a cutting-edge solution with the use of portable Solar Generators with its range of Portable Power Stations such as the DELTA and the RIVER series. With the recent spike in electricity fees, the popularity of alternative power sources such as portable power stations is on the rise. This is especially so for power stations that adopt the use of Solar Energy. Ecoflow pushes the envelope on renewable energy with its latest range of solar generators.

Why Solar Power

Source: Ecoflow

Solar Generators are portable battery systems that harnessed the power of the sun with solar panels. This renewable energy source would be able to power many home appliances. Portable ones are also useful to carry on the road.

The good thing about solar generators is that they will work regardless of rain or shine. The Solar panels are used to capture the sun's energy into solar generators. These are stored in the power stations' built-in battery for future consumption. Even without direct sunlight, these units can be charged if they are exposed to light, allowing charges with the dimmest of sunlight. While it may take a longer time to charge, it is still possible to do so in overcast conditions.

It is more eco-friendly as there are no air pollutants such as greenhouse gases from these units. The amount of energy the generators are capable of will be dependent on the power rating of the solar panels. The larger the watts, the more power it will store.
