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.
