Service life of solar power station generator

How long does a solar generator last?

How long a solar generator lasts depends on its battery cycle life, battery capacity, and frequency of use. Solar generators with lithium batteries usually last longer than lead-acid variants due to a higher cycle life. A high battery capacity reduces the number of cycles used but this all depends on how often the solar generator is used.

What is the life cycle of a solar generator?

The life cycle of a solar generator is the number of times you can charge and discharge it before its storage capacity begins to deteriorate. A higher life cycle means that your generator will last longer. In general, the higher the capacity of your generator, the longer its life cycle will be.

How often should a solar generator be recharged?

Solar generators with a fully charged battery hold a charge for about one year before they need to be recharged again. This is referred to as “shelf-life”. However, it’s recommended to recharge a solar generator every 3-6 months to extend the cycle life of the battery. This is due to the self-discharge rate of the battery.

How many watts a solar generator can provide?

Starting with watts, this is the measure of the battery power of a solar generator. It is the maximum amount of power that the solar generator can provide at any given time. For example, the Yeti 400 Lithium is capable of 300 watts of continuous power and up to 1,200 watts of surge power.
