Do You Need A Generator With Solar Panels
Are you considering installing solar panels in your home or office, but are confused about whether you need a generator as well? This description will help you understand the features and benefits of having a generator alongside your solar panels.
Solar panels are an excellent way to harness renewable energy from the sun and reduce your dependence on fossil fuels. They make use of photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electricity, which can power your appliances, lights, and other electronic devices. However, solar panels have limitations, particularly when it comes to generating electricity during nighttime, cloudy days, or during power outages.
This is where having a generator as a backup power source proves to be highly beneficial. While solar panels can provide clean and reliable energy during most daylight hours, a generator can step in when sunlight is insufficient or unavailable. Here are some key features and advantages of having a generator with solar panels:
1. Uninterrupted power supply: A generator can ensure a continuous power supply regardless of external conditions. It kicks in automatically in situations when your solar panels are unable to meet the energy demands, providing you with electricity during low light conditions or at night.
2. Power during emergencies: In the event of a power outage, a generator can provide much-needed electricity for critical appliances such as refrigerators

Made in the USA:
Our panels are handcrafted in Bend, Oregon using the finest materials available (locally sourced whenever possible.) They are built to last 25 years or more and every panel is signed by the person who made it and tested it.
So instead of saving a few bucks now and buying a new solar kit every couple of years, invest once and charge with confidence for the next couple of decades.
Setup:
Remove From Case and Unfold.
Unzip the bag and pull out the portable panel. Open the clasp and unfold the panels (except for the 45-watt portable, which is a single panel).
Pull out Legs and Set Up the Panel.
Pull out the support legs and set the panel out in direct sunlight. The panel will sit at an angle and should face the sun as directly as possible for maximum efficiency.
Connect the Panel to Your Solar Port or Battery.
Use the included SAE port to plug the kit into a Zamp Solar Ready port, or use the included alligator clamps to connect directly to the battery.
Plug & Play with Zamp Solar Ready Ports:
Most RV’s have one.
Most newer RV’s come with a Zamp solar port on their wall or roof. If you have one, you can just plug the panel in with the included SAE cable and start charging!
No port? No Problem!
Use the included alligator clips to attach your portable kit to any kind of 12-volt battery or battery bank (including lithium).

A weather-resistant, 5-stage digital charge controller is integrated into the panel to protect your battery and mounted on an EZ-view bracket for convenient monitoring.
