The generators are manufactured by DC Solar Solutions in California. Consolidated Solar is the east coast distributor.
And it only took a month to deploy.
Solar generators, New York, in winter.
Yeah,,, i guess up there in the sunbelt that makes good sense.
For your edification
Note to the solar afficionados - that great big “solar” generator that they had to roll in on a trailer provide enough power to “be able to charge cell phones, charge laptops … can run a small refrigerator, lighting,” Please keep that in mind when next you insist that we become more “sustainable”.
Monkeywrench out.
There is no such thing as a "Solar Generator." Perpetuating the ignorance of a word which has had a specific meaning for a century just confuses the ignorant and allows significant scams to exist, merely by means of abusing the common meaning and understanding of the word.
I refuse to read any articles that use this fraudulent word game to further social engineering agenda, or to exploit the ignorant.
Generators have been traditionally defined as mechanical devices that produce electrical energy by converting some other form of mechanical, physical or other potentially storeable energy.
Solar is more clearly a conversion device that creates electrical energy from solar energy, which must be somehow stored or used immediately, in order to perform useful work.
"Solar coverters power Sandy-stricken areas" would be a more accurate and clearer headline.
