Portable Solar Generators are a “Plug-N-Play” option for adding solar power to your campervan or off-grid cabin. These devices are very beginner friendly and typically don’t require any technical skill to setup.
Solar Generators come in all shapes and sizes. With some being portable enough to bring on a tent trip, and others large enough to provide emergency power to a whole house.
Below, we’ve grouped some of the most reliable generators available into three size categories to make it easy to find the perfect fit for your needs.
Lightweight Generators
Small and compact, these generators are perfect for weekends, BBQs, and minimalist requirements.
Medium Generators
Larger more capable generators, this size is ideal for mounting in a Van or RV.
Full-size Generators
The largest generators available. Best suited for large RVs, off-grid cabins or home emergency power.
