Portable Solar Generators
Portable Solar Generators Built for Every Power Outage
When the grid goes down, a dependable backup plan matters more than almost anything else in the house. Portable solar generators give homeowners, off-grid property owners, and job site crews a way to keep essential devices running without relying on gasoline runs or a noisy fuel-burning unit. Unlike a traditional gas model, a portable solar power generator captures free energy from the sun and stores it for use whenever it's needed, whether that's during a hurricane season blackout, a weekend camping trip, or a remote build site with no utility hookup. All Pro Generators has supplied thousands of customers with dependable backup power since 2018, and our lineup of portable solar power generators reflects what real buyers ask for: fast recharging, quiet operation, and enough capacity to matter when it counts.
How to Choose the Right Solar Power Portable Generator for Your Needs
Not every household needs the same amount of stored power. A small solar generator can be enough for a weekend getaway or a few essential devices during a short outage, while a larger unit is better suited to whole-home backup. As a general guideline, campers and RV owners typically do well with a portable solar powered generator in the 2,000 watt range, while a full residential setup often calls for something closer to 8,000 watts or more. If you're unsure, it's usually smarter to size up rather than size down; running short of stored power during a multi-day outage is a common regret we hear from first-time buyers.
Popular Brands We Carry

- Nature's Generator - one of the original solar generator manufacturers, now offering both classic lead-acid and newer lithium units like the MyGrid 10K.
Why a Portable Solar Battery Generator Beats Traditional Backup Options
A portable solar energy generator runs without fuel, without exhaust fumes, and without the maintenance schedule that gas and diesel units require. That makes it a practical fit for indoor use, apartment balconies, RVs, and any situation where ventilation is limited. Pair the unit with solar panels and it becomes a genuinely self-sustaining power source, recharging during daylight hours so it's ready again by the time you need it. For off-grid living, that combination of solar panels and a solar portable power generator often replaces the need for a fuel-dependent system entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know what size portable solar generator I actually need?
Start by adding up the wattage of the devices you want to run at the same time, then check that figure against a unit's continuous output rating, not just its battery capacity. For a few essentials like a refrigerator, phone chargers, and some lighting, a smaller unit around 2,000 watts is often enough. For whole-home backup covering appliances, well pumps, or HVAC components, most customers do better with 8,000 watts or higher. If your needs sit near the edge of a size category, it's generally worth sizing up rather than risking a shortfall during an extended outage.
How is a solar generator different from a standard gas generator?
A solar generator stores energy in a battery and recharges from solar panels, wall power, or a vehicle outlet, so there's no fuel to store, no exhaust to manage, and far less routine maintenance compared to a gas or diesel unit. The tradeoff is that solar units are typically better suited to backup and intermittent use rather than continuous, heavy industrial loads, where a fuel-powered generator still has an edge. For most households and off-grid setups, though, the quiet, fuel-free operation of a solar unit is a significant advantage.
Do I need to buy separate solar panels, or does the generator come with everything included?
This depends on the specific product and bundle you choose. Some units are sold as complete kits with matching solar panels included, while others are sold as the power station alone, with panels available as an add-on. If you're planning to rely on solar recharging regularly rather than just wall or car charging, it's worth confirming panel compatibility and wattage before you buy, since pairing the wrong panel size with a unit can slow down recharge times considerably.
Will a portable solar generator actually be ready in time before a storm hits?
During hurricane season, timing matters. Shipping a generator overnight is rarely possible with any retailer, since most manufacturers don't offer expedited freight on these larger units, and rush shipping costs can run several times the price of the generator itself. The safest approach is to order as soon as a storm system is being tracked in the Atlantic, rather than waiting until landfall is imminent, so the unit has time to arrive and be tested before you actually need it.
How long does the battery in a portable solar generator actually last?
Most quality lithium-based units are rated for well over 2,000 charge cycles before capacity noticeably declines, which typically translates to a decade or more of regular use depending on how heavily the unit is cycled. Runtime on a single charge varies by model and connected load, so a unit powering a full refrigerator and lighting circuit will drain faster than one running a phone charger and a few LED lights. Checking the manufacturer's stated watt-hour capacity against your expected load is the most reliable way to estimate real-world runtime.
