Patriot Power Solar Generator 1800 & Solar Panel - Pre-Owned

The Patriot Power Solar Generator 1800 is a portable solar generator with a lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, 768 Wh of stored power, 1,800 watts of continuous output. It stores energy in a battery and delivers clean, fume-free power you can use indoors. It charges from the sun with the included 100-watt solar panel, from a wall outlet, or from your car, so you have backup power for emergencies, the worksite or off-grid trips.

With 768 Wh of storage and 1,800 watts of continuous output, it can run a typical fridge through a blackout, especially when you recharge with the included panel. Run times are approximate and vary by appliance and usage. A fridge cycles on and off, so it draws power only part of the time. Per CDC guidance, a closed fridge keeps food safe for about 4 hours, a full freezer about 48 hours; starting with a cold appliance and cycling power helps stretch your run time. See the footnote for details.

Phones, laptops, lights, CPAP machines, fans and small appliances, plus larger items like fridges and freezers depending on the model. It handles up to 1,800 watts of continuous power (3,048 watts peak), so anything that stays under that limit will run. With 8 outlets, you can run several devices at once. Check the wattage on your device's label and keep your total under the generator's limit.

Yes. Unlike gas generators, it produces no fumes or carbon monoxide, so it's designed for safe indoor use. That makes it a practical way to keep a fridge, CPAP machine, lights and electronics running inside during a blackout. Follow the included instructions for safe charging and ventilation.

Three ways: from a wall outlet in 3.5 hours; from the sun in about 8 hours with the included 100-watt panel, or from your car. Solar charge times assume good sun; a wall outlet is faster and is the best choice when it's available.

Charge it fully before a storm so you're ready no matter the forecast. Solar charging slows on cloudy days, which is exactly why you can also top it off from a wall outlet or your car ahead of time. Once it's charged, it stores that power until you need it, rain or shine.

The lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) battery is rated for about 2,500 charge cycles, so it can be drained and recharged that many times while keeping at least 80% of its capacity, often a decade or more of regular use. Battery performance varies based on charging and usage conditions. See the footnote for details.

It uses a lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) battery. This chemistry is prized for being safe and stable, running in hot or cold temperatures, and lasting far longer than older lithium-ion batteries. Its rated for about 2,500 cycles. Battery performance varies based on charging and usage conditions. See the footnote for details.

Focus on four things: capacity (watt-hours, how long it runs your gear), continuous and peak wattage (what it can power and start), battery type and lifespan (LiFePO4 lasts longest and is safe indoors), and recharging options (wall, solar and car). Match the wattage to the appliances you most want to keep running, and favor fume-free units you can use inside.
