Q: I’m interested in buying a solar generator. But would a generator like this work when the power goes out in your house?
A: A solar generator might be useful at a camp site or in a disaster area. For example, it could help power refrigeration for protecting your food supply in the great outdoors. But if you’re looking for equipment that’s more dependable for providing power in your home in an emergency, a gas or propane-powered generator would work better.
