It’s always good to have a backup in life, especially during a power outage. That’s when we look for some backup power that doesn’t take us off the track of our lives. Gas generators can solve this problem, but they are noisy, emit a bad smell, require a safe place to store gasoline, and most importantly, they contribute to climate change.
Therefore, portable power stations are more recommended. Solar generators are clean, easy to use, do not require fossil fuels, and are getting cheaper and cheaper as solar technology improves. They are especially useful in emergency situations when other fuel supplies are cut off or difficult to obtain. Solar generators typically capture solar energy with portable solar panels, convert it into electricity, and store it in a portable power station for later use.
