Back-up Generators

During the initial design phase, where we create a customized solar system for your home, we'll also discuss installing a permanent generator. You as a homeowner may choose to install a generator along with your solar panels and equipment, you may also choose to forgo a backup power system. However, if you change your mind down the road or if you purchased your solar system somewhere else, we can install your residential generator as its own service.

We work primarily with Generac generators. This U.S.-based company is the leading residential brand of generators in the country. The company also includes a seven-year warranty on all
generators. We currently have two employees certified by Generac and we are more than ready to handle all installation, maintenance and repair services.

When you invest in a backup generator, you want to know it's ready when you need it most. Generators are engines, similar to cars, and they need to be regularly serviced and checked. While there are some small tasks you can perform to maintain your generator, it's also a good idea to have professional maintenance at least once a year.

Our electricians can perform a detailed inspection including the following processes:
1. Checking the oil and oil filter
2. Inspecting belts and hoses
3. Checking the condition of the battery
4. Checking coolant level
5. Adjusting the voltage

To stay consistent, let's keep that car metaphor going. If your vehicle isn't acting right or if something breaks, you call a mechanic. If your generator is damaged or its parts are worn out, call S&H Solar. We'll get an electrician out to your home, farm or ranch to diagnose and fix the problem.
