Everyone should have backup power sources, and the first on your list should be a solar generator.

You never know when the weather will take out the power for days, the grid will go down, or you’ll need to bug out.

For all these reasons and more, you need a generator.

But not all solar generators are created equal.

If you’re in the market, here are ten things solar generators should have:

1. It Should Charge Quickly from Dead

When you are in an emergency situation and need power immediately, you don’t have time to wait for your solar generator to charge.

You need a generator that quickly charges after it dies.

This is critical should you have to bug out, are without power for days, or the grid goes down.

The Grid Doctor 2200 Solar Generator System allows you to do just this. 

Its advanced monocrystalline solar cells deliver fast and reliable off-grid charging. 

You can connect multiple solar panels at once for a boost of charging power from the sun, which allows it to charge even faster.

2. Ability to Power 2200W Appliances

You don’t just need a generator for light—you need one that can keep your house running when things go dark.

When you are looking for a solar generator, you need to look for one that can power critical appliances, such as refrigerators and sump pumps.

It is rare to find one that can power appliances more than 1500 watts, but the Grid Doctor 2200 Solar Generator System can!

The ability to power 2200 watts allows owners to run appliances like dishwashers, ranges, and washing machines. Other solar-powered generators can't do that.

3. Dual Charging Capabilities

Think for a second about the number of devices you’d like to use, even when the power is out. It’s probably quite a few.

With typical solar generators, you can only plug in one of these devices at a time.

Thanks to the Grid Doctor’s pass-thru charging, you can charge the generator while you use it to power your electric appliances—such as your microwave—and digital devices, like mobile phones.

Plus, the Grid Doctor is equipped with AC, 12V DC, USB-A 3.0, and USB-C PD 30W and 100W ports to power it all: mobile phones, laptops, mini refrigerators, ham radio mobile base stations, and loads more.

This uninterrupted power supply allows you to always keep essential electronics operational.

4. Stacked Expansions

Another feature that sets the Grid Doctor apart is that users have the option to buy additional stackable battery kits that allow them to run electrical appliances for far longer.

This is similar to keeping extra fuel during an emergency to keep a gas generator running.

You double the running time of your Grid Doctor 2200 Solar Generator System with every Grid Doctor 2200XP expansion battery you add.

Plus, you can stack up as many units as you need—up to seven—depending on how much power you need.

This gives you 16,384 total watt hours!

Plus, the stackable design keeps the main unit smaller, something you want if you need to bug out or easily move the unit.

5. Run Higher Inductive Loads

When electricity is used to start a part in motion—like something with an air pump—the initial startup requirements are larger than normal.

Most solar generators on the market can’t handle these high inductive loads and, therefore, won’t run the appliance. 

The Grid Doctor 2200 Solar Generator System has been specifically designed to run the highest inductive loads possible. 

With industry-leading inductive load capabilities, the Grid Doctor can run appliances such as mattress pumps.

The creators of the Grid Doctor 2200 Solar Generator System designed it so you can power whatever device you plug in.

6. Small and Light Inverter Unit 

For years, the power generation industry has been focused on matching watt output with watt hours—the goal being that a unit can run at full power for an hour.

The capability to stack multiple expansion packs means this need can be met with smaller packaged inverters and added watt hours.

7. Ability to Plug In Multiple Solar Panels up to 800W 

When looking for a solar generator, pay attention to how many solar panels can be connected and what types.

This is critical.

You want to have the ability to increase overall power intake with additional solar panels.

Most generators are designed to only work with either 12V, 24V, or 48V solar panels, which means you have to run the required spec on the solar panel.

Unlike these other generators, the Grid Doctor 2200 Solar Generator System will charge using any sized solar panel. It doesn’t matter if it is 12, 24, or 48 volts, it works with them all.

The Grid Doctor allows users to connect up to four solar panels at once to utilize even more power from the sun and offers 200W solar panel attachments.

8. It Should Have an Intuitive Interface

In an emergency situation, you want an easy-to-read interface.  

It also needs to be easy enough for kids and the elderly to read and understand. 

The Grid Doctor 2200 Solar Generator System allows you to quickly see key information like the battery level, wattage, and more.

9. Durable and Easily Portable for Disasters

A solar generator is an investment—it shouldn’t be seen as something that you will keep buying over and over again. 

It’s not a flashlight or a box of batteries.

This is why it is so important to make sure the solar generator system you purchase is built to withstand harsh weather, wear and tear, and crisis conditions, like the Grid Doctor 2200 Solar Generator System.

You also need a solar generator system that you can move around as necessary.

You’ve likely seen the huge gas generator systems. You can’t put those in the car in a hurry. 

The Grid Doctor 2200 Solar Generator System, however, is compact and easily portable. 

It’s so convenient that you’ll want to take it on camping trips and not just use it for emergencies.

10. Numerous Ways to Charge

Solar generators are powered by the sun, but what happens if it is cloudy or stormy for days and no sunlight is available?

This is why it is critical to choose a solar generator system that has additional ways to charge. 

In addition to charging the Grid Doctor via the sun, you can also charge it through a wall outlet, in the car, or with a USB-C and power block.
