Portable AC/DC Power Generator
40W Solar Module(s) input, 150W output
12Vdc/120Vac output, 65Ah Battery
The Portable Power Generator (PPG) is a transportable source of solar and battery power. This fully-integrated unit quietly generates DC and AC electricity to run small appliances such as lights, small televisions, fans, laptop computers and small power tools. With the PPG you can be completely free of any dependency on obtaining fuel for conventional engine generators during a prolonged power outage or disaster.
The PPG is designed to be recharged from a solar module. However it can also be recharged using any 12V battery charger and an AC power source. When recharging from the sun a built-in controller monitors the charge to avoid under and over charging the battery and a meter displays how much charge is in the battery. The internal inverter converts dc to provide the 120Vac output for use with common household appliances. An externally mounted rocker switch lets you turn off and on the inverter to avoid the idle current from draining the battery. Includes (1) 120Vac outlet with an outdoor cover as well as (2) 7.5A 12Vdc sockets mounted in the end plate. The battery is a deep-cycle type rated for many charge/discharge cycles. One 40W solar module is included with provisions for adding up to two more for quicker recharging.

The PPG never needs fuel, is absolutely silent, and requires little maintenance. It is housed in a weather-resistant, polyurethane enclosure with lockable handles for carrying. All you need to do is plug the solar panel into the PPG to charge the battery. Once the battery is charged, you are ready to go!
Application Information
The PPG is not recommended for powering large electrical loads such as refrigerators and heating appliances. The 150W inverter does not have the capacity to power these large appliances and even if a larger inverter were used the battery would be drained in a matter of minutes. Approximate battery run-time with no sunlight is 3.5 hours at full load (150W ac) and 6 hours at half load (75W ac).
For maximum battery life avoid discharging below 50%. The time to recharge the battery is dependent on the amount of sunlight available and how much electricity is being used while recharging. Use the following chart to estimate recharge times for a completely discharged battery with no output load.To ensure that the PPG is ready at all times for immediate use we recommend keeping it hooked up with the solar module exposed to daily sunlight. From time to time use it to power a small ac appliance.
