How Does the Generac EcoGen Work?
In an alternative energy system, the generator is an important source of backup power when other
resources are insufficient for the demand.
Solar cells and/or wind turbines generate DC electric current.
The DC current enters the inverter charger, and then the battery bank.
The inverter takes DC power from the battery bank, converts it to AC electricity, and sends the AC
power to your home’s electrical panel.
If the battery level drops to a preset point, perhaps because there is no solar or wind power available,
the inverter automatically signals the Generac EcoGen generator to start up.
The Generac EcoGen delivers AC power to the inverter, which simultaneously sends AC power
to your home’s electric panel and sends DC power to the battery bank until it is charged to an
acceptable level.
