GENERATORS

The majority of SPS Solar/Wind powered electricity systems require a back up generator/battery charger. The generator/battery charger comes into use when long patterns of overcast weather reduces input from solar/wind to battery bank. A battery bank normally has a 5 no sun days reserve in the design.

Wet cell lead acid batteries require an equalization charge which is best provided by a generator and battery charger once every 1-2 months to ensure gassing, which reduces sulphation of plates, therefore prolonging battery life. A generator is used when high power appliances such as welders, compressors, clothes dryers etc are needed which generally are not suitable to use on an inverter.

Solar/wind systems can be designed with a generator supplementing power required per day or week. This reduces the number of Solar Modules required for overcast days.

Back up generators can be integrated with renewable energy systems either by manual or automatic operation.

Manual operation entails the system operator to know when to use the generator for battery charging and back up power.

Automatic operation of generators controlled either by a timer or system voltage setting which eliminates the guess work of the generator starting and run time.
