Back Up Power For Off-Grid Applications

Suggested Off-Grid Applications:

Homes and businesses

Telecommunications and railroads

Farms & ranches

National parks and other remote

state and county sites

Remote lodging and recreation

Whether your off-grid location is a choice or a necessity, power is important to you. You are responsible for the production of the energy you consume,

and even when there’s no sun or wind, your batteries continue to deliver electricity. Unless you have a backup power system in place, eventually your

battery bank drains and you are left powerless. For some this may not be cause for alarm, but even for off-grid consumers whose needs are fairly

simple, this is a dilemma that can become critical. How long can you go without basics such as heat and cooling, water, lights, and refrigeration?

Until now, alternative energy system backup options have typically been expensive, inadequately sized solutions adapted from other applications.

Generac Power Systems, the pioneer in standby power and manufacturer of the #1 selling home standby generator, has changed all that.

Knowing an affordable, reliable, low-emission, off-grid backup power solution would fulfill a need in the marketplace, Generac engineered the

EcoGen 6 kW to eliminate virtually all of the issues previously associated with renewable energy backup power options. Issues such as high

fuel consumption, noise, and short product life have been eliminated by the only off-grid automatic standby generator to incorporate over

50 years of power generation expertise.

How Does It Work?

In an off-grid solution, the generator is an important source of backup power when other

resources are insufficient for the demand, improving overall system reliability.

1. Sun (solar cells) and/or wind (turbines) generate DC current.

2. This is fed to the inverter charger and then on to the battery bank.

3. The inverter takes DC power from the battery bank, converts it to AC and then

sends the current to the AC electrical panel.

4. If there is no solar or wind gain and the battery bank level drops below a preset

threshold, the inverter automatically signals the generator to start up.

5. The generator feeds AC power to the inverter, which in turn sends power to the

electric panel and recharges the battery bank to an acceptable level.

The EcoGen 6 kW

•Builtspecificallyforthisapplication,itisthefirstautomatic 

standby generator to be warranted for off-grid use when used in

an alternative energy system.

• Engineeredtoeasilyintegrateintotheexistinginverterand

battery storage system.

• Runsonamoreenvironmentallyfriendly,energy-efficient

alternative – propane gas – that is already stored and available at

many off-grid locations.

• FeaturesGenerac’sownV-TwinOHVI®industrial engine, the only

engine developed specifically for generator use. The low speed

makes it the quietest in the industry, with noise and vibration

levels drastically less than comparable solutions.

• Simplifiedmaintenancewithunprecedented500hour 

maintenance intervals saves time and money.

• Full6kWoutputat120V

GeneracOHVI®Engine

THE POWER BEHIND THE #1 HOME STANDBY GENERATOR

Generac’sOHVIengineistheonlyenginedesignedspecificallyforgeneratoruse.Whyisthisimportant?Generators

areoftenrequiredtorunforhoursatatime,dayafterday.Generac’sOHVIengineutilizesthesametypeofpressurized

oil lubrication used to give automobile engines long and trouble free lives. This means a significantly longer life than

many competitive engines - an unprecedented three to four times longer. That’s the reliability you need when

downtime is not an option.

The outside looks just like our #1 selling

automatic home standby generator. The inside is unlike

any standby generator on the market.

EXTENDED RUN CAPABILITY & LONG LIFE

Features an exclusive premium oil recovery and circulation system that virtually

halts oil degradation. Maintenance intervals are extended by an unprecedented

five times the industry standard with 500 hours between oil changes.

PROPANE FUELED

Clean burning propane fuel increases efficiency, contributes to longer

engine life, and produces significantly less carbon monoxide than

gasoline fueled engines.

WEATHER PROTECTIVE STEEL ENCLOSURE

ThesteelenclosurefeaturesourRhinoCoat™finishsystem,aprocessthat

evenly joins paint particles to every part of the metal surface. Components

are baked for more consistent coverage to all surfaces, providing exceptional

protection from the elements on not only the

enclosure, but also the base frame.

THE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING SEAL

The limited warranty reflected by the Good

Housekeeping Seal means that if a

product bearing the Seal is defective

within the first two years of purchase,

Good Housekeeping will replace the

product or refund the purchase price.

NEXUSTM DIGITAL CONTROLLER

The state-of-the-art Nexus Digital Controller features an LCD display with

status indicators, monitors generator performance, and records any issues

for easy troubleshooting. It also includes an integrated smart charging system

that only charges the battery when necessary. Three position switch allows for

automatic, off and manual functions.

TWO-WIRE START

Factory equipped to easily connect to the inverter control wires, it enables the

inverter to automatically start and stop the generator in order to charge the

system batteries as necessary.
