Is this the future of Generator Power?

[@maru.energy]

Hello Everyone, What you see in this video is a specific model of which we make this certain, smaller, quantity for the Dutch Rental Fleet market. This number is larger for the whole of Europe, here we also make other , bigger, models for the European/global market. We have 50 permanent employees, located in India, Colombia and the Netherlands. We produce mobile and fixed sustainable power solutions.

Alright! Very clear.

[@jeffschroeder4805]

Using the generators only when necessary to charge the batteries must really increase the efficiency as while charging they are not subject to the extremely variable demands that are common when powering loads directly. The mobility and ease of set up offers so many advantages while also minimizing the use of fossil fuels. Bravo! I love Victron equipment, wouldn't use anything else.

[@timbookedtwo2375]

I have a 24v system with 1200w of pv panels and 600Ah of battery for my radio shack and emergency back up at home (only essential appliances). I use a small Honda generator to top off the batteries when there is not enough sunlight. I live in a Mediterranean country, so not enough sun is usually not a problem.

The photovoltaic panels on these containerized units provide only a trivial amount of power. Unless the power consumer has the unusual situation of their power demand going to very low levels for prolonged periods, that power consumer can get _essentially the same benefits_ as these containerized systems from using a common *Inverter Generator.* Such generators spin only fast enough to generate the power required at that moment, and use the inverter to keep the power frequency constant.

[@jimthvac100]

This is far more efficient than using an inverter generator that runs part throttle all the time. This generator runs at full power (where it is its most efficient) to charge the batteries. when the batteries are topped of it shuts off. True the solar panels do not generate that much power but these are big enough they will help. Gas or diesel engines are not near as efficient at partial load as one running at full load. But if your comparing a store bought generator to an inverter generator yes an inverter generator is going to be more fuel efficient. But this setup is far more efficient than n inverter style. It is more efficient because the load can be small and the generator does not have to run at partial load. only full load to recharge batteries as needed.

1600 watts of solar output is not a lot, especially in cloudy Netherlands, not even enough to feed one household, I bet it will run the generator a lot to keep the battery topped off. Victron is quality for a fair price but nowadays you can buy inverters that also perform very well for ⅓ of the price.

Many users have grid-parallel PV/Battery-systems AND run additionally a generator (combined heating-electricity-gasturbine: mine e.g.: DACHS from Senertec) Unfortunately VRM does not support the generator being measured by a separate grid-meter... The power genertated by the DACHS is considered PV-power..... as I can only meaningful determine the grid-,meter of the DACHS as PV-meter If you determine the DACHS-grid-meter als generator the calculations in VRM are nonsense..

I’ll buy solar when the solar panels convert starlight into electricity !

[@TheGreenRentals]

That's an interesting concept! While solar panels currently rely on sunlight for electricity generation, advancements in technology may bring about innovative solutions in the future. We'll keep an eye on developments in the field of solar energy. If you have any further questions or would like to discuss current solar options, please feel free to reach out through the website mentioned in the video description. We're here to assist you.

Love the Dutch idea. It will be more fuel efficient then a standalone generator and the solar is a nice touch. However @2:40 the claim is made that a standard 16A 1 fase outlet is good for 4,5kva. I am sorry but is not. 220/230V multiplied by 16A is around 3,5kva. I am using you equipment since 2018 for independent power at job sites. Still works like new.

[@TheGreenRentals]

Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience with our equipment! We appreciate your support and are glad to hear that our solutions have served you well since 2018. We'll definitely review the claim made at 2:40 and ensure accurate information moving forward. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out through the website mentioned in the video description.

It’s a shame that we have been building these for many years and they think it’s a new idea. ? ? With so few solar panels you will be using the generator the most. Dean

[@VictronEnergyBV]

This isn’t a new idea agreed. But it’s not widely used in the EU yet.

[@TheGreenRentals]

We understand your perspective, and we appreciate your feedback. While the concept of hybrid generators has been around for some time, we're constantly innovating and refining our solutions to meet evolving needs. Our aim is to strike a balance between renewable energy sources and traditional generators to provide reliable and sustainable power.

Green : because that's the color of the container ... solar power only produce less CO² than the grid if you use them 24/7 for "decades" .... could be ok in poland or germany ... NOT france ...

[@philipdamask2279]

This is one more expensive system we get by going for green and unreliable energy sources.

[@johannesboonstra6917]

well, by saving this much fuel and mainaince , this could even bring costs down for energy on places where there is no grid and nowadays generators run 24/7

[@TheVaga9]

Great, now if it only had enough power and storage!!

[@hynekfuchs1378]

👍👍👍

[@henrycarlson7514]

Interesting , Thank You . A fine idea with many applications. Please remember that plants Need co2 to live.

why not charge with a bedini , better than solar

[@onekycarscanners6002]

If I had a small wind turbine plus solar panels connected to a Giant motor that only charges batteries. I could do without a Diesel/gas Gen 80% of time. Just make sure I have batteries oversized in Amps. This is equivalent to steam 🚂 Generation and not 🚫 this excuse to sell a high maintenance Gen.

[@richardleenders8243]

Why not use solar panel power to convert water through electrolysis to produce hydrogen fuel to run a good dependible engine turning a generator also including the batteries

[@rgaleny]

rework it for ev drives

[@zodiacfml]

terrible in idea and execution. no wonder they only make 10 units a year. a fuel generator could be cheap upfront but it requires frequent checks, maintenance and less reliable, needs an exhaust, might breakdown when you actually need or while using it. replace this with LFP battery then you could use some of the charge when electricity is expensive, could ROI unlike the fuel generator has almost no ROI.

[@MegaRyan123456]

Deisel generators run for years and years with fairly basic maintenance

[@zodiacfml]

@@MegaRyan123456 they do like many old diesel vehicles but requires periodic checks and plenty consumable parts that needs replacment

[@MegaRyan123456]

​@@zodiacfml I have back up power for my property Solar+battery's and a backup Genset Genset does need maintenance But if the power went out and there is no sun it's the most effective way to make quick power if it's overcast or a storm As the cost to benefit ratio is insane A 5kw Genset can be had for a very inexpensive price ... It's part of a backup system with redundancy V

[@billybones4523]

I work in the oilfield. It is always remote. I run a Deutz 15k gen, 24/7. Regular preventative maintenance keeps it running.

[@zodiacfml]

​@@billybones4523 agreed. companies replace parts that are barely worn down or used to maintain high reliability on mechanical equipment. it would be better for this company to make fuel generator set as an option or external module and make the main product fully electric.
