| Manual Standby Generator? |
| By Jon Hoch, Founder (Bolingbrook, IL) |
Yes, the title is an oxymoron. How can you have a manual - yet standby - generator?
Basically, the PowerNow generator from Briggs & Stratton is stationary, and it runs off propane like a standby generator.
It just doesn't start automatically.
You can plug extension cords directly into the generator.
Or, in the case of this customer, you can connect a manual transfer switch to restore power to essential circuits in your home.
Either way, you'll need to manually start the generator and direct the electricity into the house.

| Solar Power Applications Are Excluded From Warranty Coverage |
| By mark mcnellis (Albuquerque, NM) |
I bought this generator a year ago based on Briggs and Stratton reliability, and I am now having problems starting the unit.
Briggs & Stratton won't approve a warranty repair because I am not electrically connected to a public utility. My home is powered by a $35,000 solar arrangement and I run the generator about 30 hours a year.
How could a person know about this exclusion unless they read the entire owners manual prior to purchasing?
EGD RESPONDS: All of the standby generator brands we carry exclude warranty coverage when used in non-utilty powered applications. These generators are "standby" rated meaning they are intended to provide back up power when the utility source fails. If you wish to obtain "prime power" rated generators we suggest contacting a solar energy retailer as they most likely will have more suitable (albeit higher cost) alternatives other than a standby generator. |
