Frequently asked questions

Can solar run a restaurant?

Yes, for freezers, fridges, fans, lights, blenders, TV and POS. Cooking with gas is best; electric cooking needs a much larger system.

Can solar run an industrial blender?

Many commercial blenders draw 1,000W to 2,000W for short bursts. A 5kVA pure sine wave inverter handles most.

Will solar keep my soups and meats safe overnight?

Yes, if the battery is sized for the freezers' night use.
