Why Most People Buy the Wrong Indoor Generator — And What to Do About It

Indoor generators are powerful tools, but they’re not as simple as plugging in a device and walking away. In fact, buying the wrong indoor generator — or the wrong solar panel setup — is more common than not. Most people shopping online don’t realize they need to understand the basic relationship between volts, amps, and watts to choose the right size system. Even fewer know how to calculate how long their generator will run, or whether it can recharge fast enough to be ready for the next day. That leads to disappointment — or worse, being left without power when you need it most.

What most manufacturers don’t tell you is this: almost all indoor generators will work great on day one. But what about night one and day two? That’s where the problems begin. After a full day of use, the battery is drained. Now it’s nighttime — and you have no power, and no sunlight. Portable solar panels (often sold as part of the kit) aren’t big enough to recharge your generator in time for the next use, especially if you’re relying on them during a storm or grid outage. And worse, they’re often overpriced and underpowered.

Here in Florida, we know what it means to prepare for hurricanes and tropical storms. Last year alone we had four significant weather events, and power outages are fresh in everyone’s mind. When the grid goes down, you need power that lasts — and that means having the right system sized and installed correctly from the beginning.

That’s where we come in. We’re not just a retailer — we’re a technology support company, and we treat solar generators for what they truly are: smart devices with batteries and computers inside. These systems need to be added to your home network, programmed correctly, and supported like any other smart technology in your home. If you run into trouble, we’re here to help — not a call center halfway around the world.

Let us help you plan and install a indoor generator system that works not just the first day, but every day you need it. We’ll guide you through exactly what size generator and solar panel setup you need for your home or business, explain how to use and maintain it, and provide reliable tech support so you’re never left in the dark.
