Solar Generators
What is a Solar Generator?
As the name suggests, a solar generator is a power system that uses solar energy to produce electricity. It combines solar panels and a battery-powered station to keep your devices running wherever you go. Whether you're heading out for a camping trip, traveling in an RV, or preparing for emergencies, a solar generator is a reliable backup solution. They come in various sizes and battery capacities to suit your unique power needs.
How Does a Solar Generator Work?
It all begins with solar panels made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC). The charge controller then manages this DC electricity and stores it in the battery, ensuring safe and efficient charging.
Since most devices run on alternating current (AC), an inverter transforms the stored DC power into usable AC electricity. The amount of power available depends on the battery’s capacity. Overall, a solar generator offers clean, renewable energy—great for the planet and your peace of mind.
Why Choose BLUETTI Solar Generators?
BLUETTI offers a wide selection of portable solar generators under 1kWh, perfect for camping and outdoor adventures. Models like the AC70 paired with a PV120S panel deliver up to 1000W of power, while the compact AC2A (300W) is an affordable choice for everyday needs.
With over 10 years of experience, BLUETTI leads in innovation and sustainability. Our eco-friendly energy solutions have helped save over 928,000m² of trees from being used as fuel.

Key Features of BLUETTI Solar Generators
1. Expandable Battery Capacity
At the heart of every solar generator is its battery. BLUETTI offers a wide range—from 204Wh to 33,177Wh—powered by premium LiFePO₄ batteries known for long life and safety. Many of our models support expandable capacity to grow with your energy needs.
2. Fast & Flexible Charging
BLUETTI solar generators support rapid charging from solar panels, wall outlets, or car chargers. You can even expect a full charge in as little as 4 hours with solar and about 6 hours with a 24V car charger.
3. Charge Your Way with Solar
From the compact AC70 with 120W solar input to the powerhouse AC500 that supports 400W or more, BLUETTI gives you flexibility to scale. Choose a generator that meets your power needs—without overpaying.
4. Wide Device Compatibility
Every BLUETTI generator includes a variety of output ports: USB-C, USB-A, DC, and AC outlets. Whether you're powering a smartphone, a laptop, or a mini fridge, there's a port for it.
5. Smart Tech, Easy Operation
BLUETTI solar generators include smart features like app control, Peak Load Shifting, and EPS (Emergency Power Supply), which switches over in just 20ms during an outage. Despite the advanced tech, setup and operation remain user-friendly.
Applications of BLUETTI Solar Generators
1. Camping & RV Trips
Portability is key on the road. BLUETTI's under-1kWh models are lightweight, easy to carry, and powerful enough to run small appliances like microwaves, coffee makers, and laptops.
2. Emergency Power Backup
When the grid goes down, BLUETTI steps in. UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) tech provides instant backup during blackouts, while high-capacity batteries keep your essentials running through extended outages.
3. Sustainable Home Power
Solar generators aren't just for travel—they're also a step toward a greener home. High-capacity models can power heavy-duty 240V appliances like heat pumps and AC units, reducing your reliance on the grid and cutting energy bills.
4. Off-Grid Living
For remote cabins, tiny homes, or off-grid living, BLUETTI solar generators offer independence and resilience. With scalable batteries and solar input, you can enjoy modern comforts—anywhere.
FAQ-Solar Generators
- Can a solar generator power my home during an outage?
-
Yes—depending on its size. Mid-range systems (around 2,000-3,000Wh) can keep essentials like a refrigerator, Wi-Fi router, lights, and CPAP machine running for several hours. Larger expandable systems such as BLUETTI’s Apex 300 or AC500 series can power multiple appliances or serve as a whole-home backup when paired with expansion batteries.
- Do solar generators work when it’s cloudy or at night?
-
Solar generators store electricity in built-in batteries, so you can use power anytime — day or night. Charging slows on cloudy days, but most systems also support AC wall charging or car charging as reliable backup methods.
-
How long does it take to charge a solar generator?
-
Charging speed depends on the input power. Using solar panels, a 200W setup can recharge a 2,000Wh generator in about 8-10 hours of optimal sunlight. Many advanced models, like BLUETTI’s Apex 300, feature fast AC charging, reaching 100% in 1-2 hours when plugged into a wall outlet.
- Are solar generators safe for indoor use?
-
Absolutely. Unlike gas generators, solar generators are emission-free and silent, producing no carbon monoxide or exhaust fumes. They’re safe to operate inside your home, RV, or garage—making them perfect for storm-prone regions and indoor emergency backup.
- What kind of maintenance do solar generators require?
-
Almost none. There are no engines, oil changes, or filters to worry about. Just keep solar panels clean, store the unit in a cool, dry place, and recharge every few months if unused for long periods.
- Can solar generators run air conditioners or microwaves?
-
Yes—if the generator’s output wattage matches or exceeds the appliance’s requirements. For instance, a 3,000W solar generator can power most small air conditioners or microwaves. Always check both continuous and surge ratings before connecting high-power devices.
- How long can a solar generator run a refrigerator?
-
A standard fridge (around 150-200W) can typically run 8-12 hours on a 2,000Wh solar generator, depending on efficiency and usage. For extended outages, pairing the generator with solar panels allows continuous recharging throughout the day.
- Can I expand my solar generator later?
-
Yes. Many BLUETTI solar generators are modular. You can add extra battery packs to expand capacity as your energy needs grow, ideal for long-term off-grid living or comprehensive home backup.
- What tax credits or incentives are available in the U.S.?
-
If your solar generator is connected to solar panels that charge it directly, it may qualify for the Residential Clean Energy Credit, offering up to 30% off eligible costs on your federal tax return before 2026. Always consult a licensed tax advisor for eligibility details.
