1800 watt Solar Backup Generator

Amazing “Solar Generator”  Is Like Having A
Secret Power Plant Hidden In Your Home!

Solar Powered Backup System Provides Instant Electrical Power In Any Outage Or Disaster. Even Better…
Backup Kit Produces An Endless Supply Of Electricity For Free!

 Are You Ready For Unexpected Power Outages?

If you have ever wanted to have an emergency “backup” system that supplies continuous electrical power, this will be the most important message you will ever read.

Here is why.

There is now a completely portable (and ultra-high efficient) solar power generator which produces up to 1800 watts of household electricity on demand when you need it most. News of this “solar backup generator” (it’s the first “off-the-grid” breakthrough in 50 years) is spreading like wildfire all across the country!

Why?

The answer is easy. You see, this solar generator is extremely powerful and yet very simple to use. It produces continuous electricity and runs with absolutely no noise whatsoever. It emits no fumes. But the best part about the solar generator is that it…

Generates Free Electricity!

The unit then stores the power for your use when you need it. We all face natural disasters, with hurricanes, tornadoes, snow and ice storms cutting off electrical power to millions of Americans each year.

 

Have A Backup System In Place!

The Solar generator kit consists of three main components which work together to create a very efficient home power plant. The massive “generator-backup”, the high efficiency solar panel, and the charge controller. In fact, when you compare a solar generator to a gas generator, the difference is pretty remarkable. Here’s why. First, gas generators make an incredible amount of racket… if you can even get them started. I say that because in this part of the country (Northern Illinois), the time of year we are likely to lose our electricity is in the winter, during an ice or snow storm.

Generally the wind breaks the power lines, which get covered with ice and snow. Typically, when you lose power here, you go to the garage, roll out the generator and start pulling the cord. You pull and pull some more, all because your generator has been sitting in the cold and the carburetor is playing hard to get. This is not a lot of fun in the dark.

Another reason to avoid gas generators is that you just can’t run one in your house. The fumes from a gas generator force you to run it outside and rely on a lot of cords coming through windows or doors to bring the power inside. Again, this is assuming you can get your gas generator started in the first place.

Gas Stations Can’t Pump Gas Without Electricity!

Yes.  It’s true.  When the power goes out, you’re left with whatever gas you have on hand because the gas station pumps all run on electricity.  A few gallons stored in a gas can means a little electricity for a little while, then it’s quickly back to black.

Look… I could go on and on about life without electricity and what nightmare gas generators can be. But here’s the bottom line. Solutions From Science is offering an amazing power generating system that can provide plenty of electrical power in the event of an outage or emergency. And the best part is that you can have the power safely in your house.

It’s the perfect emergency backup for troubled times at any location.
When the lights do go out at your house…
you’ll be darn glad you didn’t hesitate.

And, Solutions From Science can put one of these “backup” Solar Generators in your hands very quickly and affordably so you’ll be prepared in any crisis that comes down the road.

A True Breakthrough In Home Power Generation!

Let me try to explain the features and benefits of our Solar Generator as simply as possible. If I could bring one over to your house and let you start plugging in appliances, you would immediately understand what all the fuss is about. But I can’t do that. Here are some of the reasons you’ll want a solar generator:

1)Maximum power in minimum time. – I cannot emphasize this enough.  The solar generator can be set up in just a few minutes.  Then, all you have to do is start plugging things in.  It will run both AC & DC appliances anywhere… anytime
2)Back up power when you need it most – It’s called a “solar backup” because it’s designed to come to your rescue when power trouble starts and your lights go out. Run a small refrigerator (high efficient ones are best) to keep your food from going bad or even run a sump pump in the basement if you have to get rid of excess water.
3)Portable Power – If the going ever gets too tough where you are and you decide to “get the heck out of dodge,” you simply throw it in the car and take off to a safer destination, knowing you have power wherever you go.
4)Replaces gas generators – No noise, no fumes, no maintenance and most importantly… no fuel required.  Simply roll it to whatever location needs the power and start plugging in appliances.  It has a massive maintenance-free battery as well as an indestructible outer case.  (It weighs about 65 pounds.) It’s a solid piece of equipment that will last a lifetime
Solar Generator 5)Generates permanent power – The unit provides 1800 watts of electricity at peak power.  That’s enough to run many appliances in your house.  The unit stores power and makes it available when you need it.  The generator is recharged constantly by the sun allowing you to use the system and charging it at the same time.  Many users choose to keep appliances plugged in permanently to reduce electrical costs and help pay for the unit
6)Multiple uses – You can use your solar backup to run essential appliances when emergencies arise. You can recharge phones; run shortwave radios, televisions, lights, fire place or furnace fans, as well as computers and printers. Plus, if you need to work in the woods at the cabin or in a boat, you can use the solar backup to run power tools, trimmers, blowers and coffee makers.
7)Plug and play means instant power – The emergency backup system comes ready to go. Just start plugging in your favorite household essentials…
Life Saving Power when you need it 8)Life-Saving Power When you need it most – Great for powering aquariums, CPAP machines, small refrigerators/freezers, alarm clocks, security systems, whatever you need to live comfortably when the power goes out.
Emergency Backup Power for Communications 9) Emergency Backup Power for Communications – Access the latest weather changes even when the rest of the neighborhood looses power. Powers AM/FM radios, televisions, shortwave radios, cell phones, computers, and other telecommunication devices.
Emergency Backup Power for Communications 10) Assembled in AmericaOur solar kits are assembled in the United States of America.

You’ll feel a whole lot safer knowing you have a solar generator when the unexpected occurs. It could be in a storm, riot or meltdown. Unlike most  people, when the power goes out, you’ll be ready. In fact, if you’re like most Solar Generator owners, you’ll even sleep a little better knowing you still have a very reliable source of electrical power.

How much is a “plug and play” Solar Generator? Well… One friend of mine told me he couldn’t even put a price on his backup system. For him it was peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions

Solar Power Information

What exactly is a Solar Generator?

The Solar Powered Generator is an electric generator which will provide up to 1800 watts of household electricity (3600 watts peak); enough to run almost any electronic product or appliance you might connect to your wall outlet at home. No diesel or regular gas is needed! It consists of a battery pack that stores electrical energy, state-of-the-art electronics that convert 12 volts from the battery pack to household power, an AC power panel that contains five standard outlets, and a DC power panel that is used to run 12 volt products. The Power Source 1800 is packaged in an almost “indestructible housing” and is easy to move around as needed.

Solar Power Batteries

Is it a generator?

With the included solar panel, yes. The Solar Generator is an electric production and storage unit. Generators are self contained power units which generate their own electricity by use of a solar panel or other fuel source. It generates its own electricity, and stores the electricity for use when you need it.

Is it noisy?

No, the Solar Powered Generator runs silently, no noise whatsoever. It emits no fumes and no gas is needed.

What can I run with it?

The Solar Powered Generator provides for 1800 watts of household electricity (3600 watts peak). That’s enough to run almost any electronic product or appliance you might connect to your wall outlet at home. But appliances that require exceptional amounts of power are best to avoid, if possible, as they are very expensive to run from batteries or a generator. Examples include central air conditioners, heat pumps, electric hot water heaters, electric clothes dryers, electric ranges and electric space heaters.

On average, how long does it take the solar panel to fully re-charge the unit?  That would be assuming the regular power source is out and you could not plug it in to your regular A/C outlet to re-charge it.

That really depends on the sun. For example, here in Northern Illinois, in full sun during the winter, it takes about 5 to 7 hours to fully charge the system. Two hour recharge times in full sun have been reported in the Southwest.

Can you get 50′ of cord?

Yes. It comes with 50′ of cord.

What are the dimensions of the panel?

47″ long X 21″ wide X 2″ deep
weighs 17 pounds

Is it “portable” and easy to move around?

Yes, very. It weighs only 65 pounds, has “lifting handles” at both ends as well as hidden wheels which make moving the unit around a snap.

When you say it will run a Sunfrost R19 refrigerator for 9 hours, do you mean that the fully charged battery will do that by itself, or does having the unit receiving electricity from the solar panel simultaneously  increase the run time, and, if so, by how many hours?

Fully charged without the sun. Running the system during the day, with the panel in the sun increases results and those results will be a function of where you live, time of year and how much sun/clouds that day.

If power goes out for several days, will the act of plugging the refrigerator into the unit for just a few hours each day, combined with the act of having the solar panel constantly re-charging the unit, allow for effective frozen/cold food preservation for several days?

Yes. This is the strategy we highly recommend in an emergency.  As you know, your refrigerator doesn’t run all the time anyway. Simply run your refrigerator for two hours plugged in to the solar generator and then unplug it for two hours. This works great!

Does it include a battery?

Yes, the Solar Powered Generator includes a massive 60Ah battery. The battery is a sealed, maintenance free battery and is securely housed inside the housing.

Can I charge it and use it at the same time?

Yes. The Solar Panel connects to the Solar Powered Generator with the included DC socket, so your household AC appliances can be run from it at the same time. Use the Solar Powered Generator permanently and watch your electric bill drop!

Is the System easy to install?

Yes, the system is very easy to install since no actual installation is really needed. No electrician is needed either. This is a stand-alone system that does not need to be connected to your household wiring whatsoever. Just fasten the solar panel to a flat surface outside, and then plug everything into the power plant. That’s it!

How often should I change the battery?

Just like the battery in your car, it should be charged up now and then, and actually used. The expected life span of the battery will be around 6 years or more, but the more you use it, the longer it will last! 🙂

Can I use it indoors?

Yes. The Power Source 1800 does not emit any fumes since it is completely sealed. Place it into your kitchen or office, and plug in your appliances! Use it as a permanent source of power!
Solar Residential Panels

Does weather effect my power system?

The Power Source 1800 itself can be used outdoors, however, it should be kept out of direct exposure to rain, direct sunlight and snow. Keep the Power Source 1800 in a cool dry place if you can, it will radically increase the lifespan and capabilities of the unit. The solar panel of course, should be put into direct sunlight, or even mounted right on your roof with southern (preferably) or southwestern exposure. The Solar Panel will operate efficiently at temperatures from -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit.

Can I hook several of these together?

No. The units are self contained and are designed to operate independently.

Can I add extra batteries?

No. The unit is sealed and designed to work with the current battery inverter ratio installed.

Is the battery a lead acid/battery?

Yes. The battery is sealed, non-spillable, lead/acid gel battery.

Do you carry a 240 volt system for other countries?

Not at this time.

Will I be able to operate my air conditioner or electric heater with this unit?

No. These appliances consume more energy than the PowerSource 1800 can supply.

Will my solar panels be able to work if I place them on my porch or “sun room”?

The solar panels need to have direct sunlight. Windows act as filters and will not allow the  solar panels to absorb the solar energy that they need. Solar panels should be placed outdoors in direct sunlight.

Can the PowerSource 1800 power my entire home?

No. This is a self contained, backup power unit. It is designed to power only a few of the most critical loads (a refrigerator and a few lights or a small office).

What is your return policy?

All sales are final. We will honor all of the warranties on the equipment (20 years on the solar panels, 90 days on batteries and the electronics, 2 Year Extended Warranty can be purchased). Any unauthorized repairs will void the warranty.
