Types of Generators
There are six basic types of generators on the market: gas, battery, solar, portable, inverter, whole house. Whole home generators are the largest and most powerful type of generator you can purchase. They are installed permanently, and will start automatically when an outage occurs. Inverter, solar, and portable generators are mobile and come in various sizes. They can be used as a temporary backup source for your home or business, as well as for travel and recreational activities. Gas generators are commonly used for backup power during outages, and for work sites and remote locations. And battery/power stations are large portable batteries that store electricity to be used whenever you need it. Read on to learn about the characteristics of each type of generator.
