Hello Folks,
I am an absolutely newbie to all of this and I was hoping that you knowledgeable people might be able to answer a question I have. I have an off grid barn in the Pyrenees in France and I am looking to install solar as a replacement for a petrol generator I currently use. The power I require is modest. I have a solar fridge which runs on its own circuit and panels. I only require power for a few lights, mobile phone, Bluetooth speaker charging, a small TV and the occasions my wife uses her hairdryer! My current petrol generator is an 800 watt model. The barn is a renovation project as a holiday bolt hole. I have been looking at the various Solar Generators like Ecoflow, Bluetti etc. My question is whether one of these units can be used as a direct replacement for the petrol generator? Currently the petrol generator plugs into the house via an ordinary plug. I plug the cable into the generator, start it up and it runs everything I need. My question is can I swap out the petrol generator for solar generator without any modification to the current electrical set up. I am sorry if this is a naive question but I can’t seem to find an answer to my question anywhere! Thanks in advance!
