Do I need one each OG Solar generator to power refrig, computer, window AC, TV, microwave?

The generators come in different levels of power available. Call Don Allen directly to get details at 310-390-5522. He is the manufacturer and really helpful. Retired military and from LAPD detective.

If you want to run a full size refrig that is running at 8 to10 amps you need the OG 135 and it will run your system from Sun down to Sun rise. If you want to run all in your question you will need to order 2 of the units.Don

The solar panels are for charging batteries. You will need batteries and a 220 volt inverter to power the refrigerator. 4 panel will not be enough to maintain the charge with your refrigerator. I have 10 panels charging 14 deep cycle batteries connected to a 3000 watt, 120 volt inverter that powers a small chest freezer and some lights plus occasional microwave and TV and I am probably going to add another 400 watts to my system so I can have a small refrigerator.

No. Wattage provided by an inverter has to exceed the wattage required of the blender. I have a PV375 and it will run or charge my laptop, charge my Nook, and cell phone. You will need to run a generator to power a vitamix (I have one, but don't take it camping) as it pulls a lot of watts. I have a Honda 2KW and it will NOT run my AC or microwave. My 40ft 5th wheel had a 5KW generator that would run just about anything.

I am planning to use this generator to keep my electronics running in case of a major emergency. Would this work well for a couple of laptops and a PC, video camera etc? Or would I need anything else? Thanks!

Hello. It depends on your electrical requirements and on the other components of the solar system you want to assemble. You need to do some research: How many appliances do you want to run, and how much power do they draw? What type and how many batteries are you going to use? What type of charge controller? What type of inverter? What type of cables? These are all things that matter in designing a solar system.

For this question call tech support at HotMax.I had an interesting conversation with them about using power from a regular generator and the answer was don't use that power because of frequency fluctuations that will mess up the electronics inside the unit.

Sorry but unless you have a serious Battery and Inverter setup. No. Dont get me wrong it is a good kit. I have two of them. but most Refrig and freezers need alot more amps than the kit provides. But it cold be used to keep a Battery charged and a bigger inverter could work. Check out the web folks are using these kits to make solar generators with good results.

Yes. You need to make sure that you are putting a proper load on the generator. 7000 watts min sustained load is 3500. Choose circuits wisely before installation.

I don't see why you couldn't use this system for home applications. With a few batteries and a pure sine wave inverter, you could run a fridge, microwave, lights, computer, power tools etc. I'm not an expert on these as I'm still a bit new to the solar world. The system will charge a single 155amp hour battery in no time at all, even with a cloud cover. I plan on setting up my system for every 100 watt panel, I want a 155amp hour battery. Do some reading on the web, and watch some youtube videos. People have put a ton of information on systems similar to this one.

You can purchase the gate opener with the battery and solar option but I have an automatic generator at my home so if the power goes out the generator cuts in so the gate is still powered.

This device is specifically designed to be used to tie solar cells into the grid(your power system) with the minimum of issues.You plug your solar inverter into any outlet of your home and up to two of the 136 watt flexible solar cells on the DC side of the unit ...vowla you have an inexpensive very automated solar system that is easy to add wattage to. I have not had time to install mine yet. Good luck!

Unfortunately, no. We have a 24' travel trailer with the Go Power Solar Extreme kit install, along with 450 AH of batteries and are not able to fire up the AC unit. It will run the Microwave, TVs, Laptops, etc with no problem, but those rooftop AC units are too power hungry (we have just one)! It appears you would need a generator in your arsenal if you want off-grid AC. :(

Yes, just make sure you don't exceed the max load of 300W. If you need more than 300W, use an ApplianceLinc.

I would definitely recommend adding a sub panel with all of the critical circuits you would need in the event of a power failure. This way you can pick and choose what appliances to run when you need them. Also eliminates the need for multiple extension cords. Generac makes a nice kit to use with that generator

Just an opinion here, Kindle Customer; If I were you and had 'that' kind of money I'd get kit anyway and 'go solar' for just part of the house--part of the kitchen comes to mind. Right off the top of my head I'd have somebody wire up the hot water heater, fridge, and maybe a light. Check the wattage for all three and see how it matches up. Plan B would be to wire up a window air conditioner. Futher, you need to remember solar panels work best with batteries hooked up to them.

Hi Terry, The answer is "no"... unless you plan un using Battery Back-up. If you have a battery bank, then maybe. Your really need a battery bank and around 500W panel array (or more) if you want to run a fridge/freezer 24 hours / day.... and if you get several days in a row of no sunshine... it could be tricky.

Not sure just what your referring to, but the generator had multiple outlets for both 110v and 220v. So if you need to power up a refrigerator, for instance, you can just plug it right into the generator. You can also plug in a power strip and then plug in 3, 4 or even 5 different pieces of equipment. And just so you know this unit is large enough to power the entire house ...
