Frequently Asked Questions
What size generator do I need for home backup?
The right-sized generator for house depends on numerous factors, including your square meterage, number of occupants, usage patterns, combined starting and running wattage of all the appliances you want to run simultaneously, and how long you want it to run between battery charges or refuelling. Fossil fuel portable or standby diesel generators must be installed outdoors at a safe distance from your home due to deadly carbon monoxide emissions and noise. Solar generators are almost silent and 100% safe for indoor use.
How does a home backup generator work?
It depends on whether you purchase a portable or standby generator that burns diesel or fossil fuels like petrol or propane — or opt for a solar generator instead. All gas-power electric generators for home produce deadly carbon monoxide when generating electricity and cannot be used indoors under any circumstances. Solar generators use PV modules like solar panels and other charging methods to charge a home backup battery and are 100% safe for indoor use.
What are the best home backup generators?
It depends on your use case. Australia has abundant sunshine and is one of the best places in the world to generate electricity with solar panels or other photovoltaic modules. Unlike diesel generators, there are no ongoing fuel costs or maintenance requirements. A portable power station with solar panels is the quietest generator and it’s 100% safe for indoor use. There are multiple additional charging options, like grid power and 800W alternator charging, if you don’t have access to direct sunlight.
Can I install a backup generator by myself?
Sometimes. If you have a portable petrol or solar generator and you’re plugging appliances directly into the unit, fixed installation isn’t required. Just remember that any generator that burns fossil fuel CANNOT be used indoors under any circumstances. It produces deadly carbon monoxide and must be placed a safe distance from your home. Standalone solar generators are 100% safe to use indoors. However, any electricity generator for home that integrates with a power panel or circuit breakers using a manual or automatic transfer switch MUST be installed by a licensed electrician/professional installer. High voltage can kill, and it’s illegal to DIY unless you’re a licensed electrician.
Where is the best place to put a backup generator?
If you’re installing a solar backup generator to integrate with your home wiring, it’s best to put it near the main power board and circuit breakers that you want to back up with a manual or automatic transfer switch. You must hire a professional installer/licensed electrician to connect a solar, natural gas, or diesel generator to your home circuitry. Portable solar generators are quiet, standalone units that are completely safe for indoor use. Just put it wherever is convenient for you. Any generator that burns fossil fuels must be installed outdoors at least 7 meters from your house.
Will a backup generator affect my home insurance rates?
It depends on your insurance company and the type of backup generator for home that you choose. A professionally installed emergency generator for home can mitigate losses you might otherwise incur during a blackout or extended power outage. It’s in your insurer’s best interest to reward you for trying to keep your home safe and reducing the risk of property damage in an outage.
