The answer to that question, depending on the circumstances, is still a bit of a tug of war between No and no. In our opening statement, we sidestepped the question a little, saying, "It's not impossible." The answer to this question basically depends on the size of your house and the power requirements - the amount of electricity your appliances and electrical equipment require. If you want to run small electronic devices, then solar power generators will never let you down.

 

However, if you're running large, power-hungry household appliances, the answer used to be a big "no" - however, with Natural's Generator's scalable battery storage system, the answer can now be changed to "yes."

 

Even the natural generator's standard Gold system (1800 watts) and Elite System (3600 watts) portable solar generators can be used in some smaller homes - especially if your home has a natural gas stove and water heater, and/or you use a fan or portable window air conditioning system rather than a power-hungry central air conditioning system.

 

But now we've added another plot twist into the natural generator's newest product - the Powerhouse- which has a maximum capacity of 7,200 watts before adding more units or power supplies. This powerful generator has a 4,800 kilowatt-hour (KWH) battery, which is specially designed to power the entire home.

 

With nature's generator power station, running an entire house with a solar generator will now be commonplace. So, to return to our original title question and give the final and definitive answer, it is by no means impossible for a single solar generator to power an entire house. Read on for more details.

 

To choose the right size solar generator for your house, you only need to know a little about the different equipment and appliances you own, and you'll want to power it.

 

All appliances and equipment will not run 24/7.

There are a few things you should keep in mind when looking at this list of average wattage. For one thing, you probably won't have all these different devices in your own home. Second, the devices you own don't run or charge at the same time.

 

While your refrigerator/freezer needs 24/7 power, the other electronics on the list are used intermittently. TVS, computers, fans, space heaters, printers, garage door openers, dishwashers, washing machines, electric car chargers, and yes, even air conditioners will only be used sporadically during certain times of the day, certain times of the week, or seasonal times of the year. (For example, you won't be running air conditioning and heating at the same time.) . Another example is electric lights, which are not used during the bright day or when you are sleeping.

 

Assume that you will use load management practices instead of running every electronic device and device at the same time. In fact, the list of average wattage above might help you realize not to run two or three of your most power-hungry appliances at the same time if you can easily avoid it.

 

Utilities often have time-use plans to manage grid demand.

It was relevant to our exploration that many utilities have time-of-use (TOU) programs that try to help manage customers' electricity demand by charging more for energy used during peak periods. In this way, utilities are also working to ensure that the grid is not overwhelmed during these peak times.

 

Prices tend to be highest between 4pm and 9pm. This is especially relevant if you are designing a solar power system to run your home, but still remain connected to the grid. Run your home with your solar generator during these peak times, and your wallet will thank you, as will your local power grid.
