What exactly is a solar generator?

A solar generator is a system for generating electricity that uses solar panels to capture energy from sunlight. The solar generator converts sunlight into electrical energy. This energy is then stored in batteries, which provide power when needed. It's similar to a diesel generator, which uses diesel fuel to generate energy. However, the solar generator uses the sun to generate energy instead of burning diesel. Smart, right?

Solar generator 1200.

With a power output of 1228 watt-hours, this portable solar generator is ideal for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors without sacrificing comfort and convenience. The 1200 Swiss Edition solar generator is a great choice for those looking for a mobile solar power system.

Where can I use the solar generator with lithium battery?

Logically, for example, when camping. There you can charge your laptop, your mobile phone, your camera, your e-book reader without relying on other power sources. But the applications are far more diverse.

Open-air cinema.

"It's lights out and away we go" or would you rather watch "Today I have no rose for you" with your best friends under the open sky? Stretch a white wall or a bedsheet across the wall, set up a solar generator, connect a projector and you've got your own open-air cinema.

DIY King.

No project is too big for you, and you want to build your dream treehouse far from any power outlet? The 1200 solar generator can power devices with a continuous power consumption of up to 1800W. It pre-charges the batteries of your drill and jigsaw, and even powers your circular saw with solar energy. Since the battery is fully charged again in 4 hours* with a solar panel, you can continue working the next day. Unless it's Sunday. Or is it? Is it even allowed to work with solar power on Sundays?

*Charged within 4 hours under full solar load (with max. 300W)

Ready for Hollywood?

Your client wants to film in an abandoned location? Is daylight insufficient, and are the batteries running low? Then this solar generator is perfect for you. Connect a video light, charge the batteries, and during breaks, transfer the data directly to your laptop while simultaneously powering it. With this high-capacity battery, you'll have power for an entire day of filming.

Your powerhouse.

The Solar Generator 1200 Swiss Edition is a useful and practical device that offers every adventurer or project the opportunity to enjoy a completely self-sufficient power supply.

As always, unpack, plug in and enjoy.
