When paired with one or more solar panels, a solar generator is almost an all-in-one solar power station. The best solar power generators feature an integrated, high-capacity solar battery, an efficient and powerful charge controller, a <a href=\"https:\/\/ecotality.com\/the-best-solar-panel-kits-with-a-battery-and-inverter\/\">built-in power inverter<\/a>, and a variety of practical power output ports. In other words, a high-quality solar generator lets you generate, store, and access solar power from even the most remote, off-grid locations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help you choose the right solar power generator for your needs, we are going to take an in-depth look at one of the most well-known options on the market today \u2013 the Patriot Power Generator 1800 from 4Patriots.

The brand itself is a well-known manufacturer of survival food kits and self-reliance equipment. While they are not a specialized solar company, their Patriot Power Generator 1800 has proven to be a fairly popular item.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it remains an expensive solar generator, the truth is the Patriot Power Generator first launched over five years ago. Given how quickly solar technology improves, five years is quite a long time, which is why it is worth taking an in-depth look at this unit\u2019s internal components to see how they stack up to some of the other solar generators out there.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ef050a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0ef050a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Capacity and Shelf Life of the Patriot Power Generator\n<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8ac38d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b8ac38d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Battery Capacity:<\/h5>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-329fe70 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"329fe70\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the first things we have to clear up about the Patriot Power Generator 1800 is the unit\u2019s battery capacity. While some believe that the 1800 in the name refers to the total watt-hours the unit can store, the truth is it only holds an unimpressive 652Wh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In truth, anything under 1,000Wh is fairly dated, especially when you are talking about a solar generator that is as large and as heavy as the Patriot Power Generator 1800.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the internal 12V LiFePo4 lithium-ion phosphate battery is made to a fairly high standard, the capacity falls short of the industry standard, which is somewhat unsurprising. 4Patriots has not updated the battery since it first released the unit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you plan to use your solar generator for backup power during power outages and emergencies, a high battery capacity is one of the most important attributes to look for.

Essentially, shelf life refers to the amount of time you can leave a battery charged before the power drains. While all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.panasonic-eneloop.eu\/en\/news\/what-battery-self-discharge-and-how-do-you-counter-it\">batteries suffer from natural drain<\/a> over time, some batteries are better than others at holding their charge. Shelf life is an incredibly important factor for those planning to use their solar generator as a source of backup or emergency power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to 4Patriots, the shelf life of the Patriot Power Generator is 6 months; however, most users find the actual shelf life is significantly less and comes closer to just a single month. Once again, this is simply a symptom of using a dated deep cycle battery. For comparison, most solar generators you will find at this price point have a shelf life of closer to a year, with many lasting even longer. So, if you are looking for reliability, you will want to keep a keen eye on the shelf life of the internal battery in your chosen solar generator.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83c6775 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"83c6775\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Patriot Power Generator Inverter and Output Ports<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61051b5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"61051b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Power Inverter:<\/h5>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e431380 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e431380\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Patriot Power Generator 1800 comes with a built-in 1,800W power inverter, which gives the unit its name.

Since solar panels have a power rating based on how well they perform during ideal conditions, this means that a fully drained Patriot Power Generator 1800 would take about 6 to 7 hours to recharge using the included solar panel. It also assumes that the solar panel would get at least six continuous hours of direct, peak-hour sunlight, which would not happen during a typical day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even on a\u00a0 sunny day, a single 100W solar panel would struggle to generate 75 watts per hour, which is why most people pair their solar generator with multiple 100W panels or a single solar panel with a higher power rating. However, the problem with the Patriot Power Generator is it has a maximum solar input of 240 watts, which means it cannot handle more than 240 watts at any given time. In other words, even if you wanted to add additional solar panels, you could only increase the charge rate by 140 watts, which is rather low, especially when compared to other solar generators at the same price range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In simple terms, if you want a solar generator that offers serious <a href=\"https:\/\/ecotality.com\/how-to-build-an-off-grid-solar-system\/\">off-grid capabilities<\/a>, choose one that comes packaged with more than just a single 100W solar panel; or failing that, you will at least want a generator that has a higher solar input rate than 240 watts.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c63c230 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c63c230\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Our Overall Impression of the Patriot Power Generator 1800<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0efb385 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0efb385\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At first glance, the Patriot Power Generator 1800 seems like a capable solar generator.

The Patriot only features two AC outlets, but the AC200P has six separate 120V AC wall-style outlets, which means you can plug in numerous devices simultaneously. It has the potential to run up to 2,000W continuously from the 120V outlets, which is great news for those planning to use their solar generator as a power hub for camping trips, emergencies, or for any off-grid outdoor event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It also features multiple 12V DC car-style charging ports, five USB outlets, and a single USB-C 60W high-speed port designed to quickly charge the newest Apple iPhones and Android smartphones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Battery, Power Inverter, and Charge Controller:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where the AC200P shines is its integrated 2,000W Pure Sine Wave inverter and highly efficient MPPT charge controller. Where the Patriot only offers 3,048W worth of surge protection, the AC200P has a more robust 4,800W.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With 700W rather than 240W, the solar input capabilities are also drastically better, which means you can charge the unit using solar panels much faster. The quad kit comes packaged with four 100W panels rather than just one, so the off-grid capabilities are a vast improvement over the Patriot.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32e59ef3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"32e59ef3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/shopsolarkits.com\/products\/bluetti-ac200p-quad-kit?_pos=4&#038;_sid=8b73ef0ec&#038;_ss=r&#038;ref=pBtudQPYogQEqb\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/ecotality.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/71ksIuGP5TL._AC_SL1200_6871916c-d202-4ef8-99c4-c2c93e6ed2d8_1024x1024-300x280.webp 300w,https:\/\/ecotality.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/71ksIuGP5TL._AC_SL1200_6871916c-d202-4ef8-99c4-c2c93e6ed2d8_1024x1024-768x718.webp 768w,https:\/\/ecotality.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/71ksIuGP5TL._AC_SL1200_6871916c-d202-4ef8-99c4-c2c93e6ed2d8_1024x1024.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ecotality.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/71ksIuGP5TL._AC_SL1200_6871916c-d202-4ef8-99c4-c2c93e6ed2d8_1024x1024-300x280.jpg\" height=\"280\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecotality.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/71ksIuGP5TL._AC_SL1200_6871916c-d202-4ef8-99c4-c2c93e6ed2d8_1024x1024-300x280.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ecotality.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/71ksIuGP5TL._AC_SL1200_6871916c-d202-4ef8-99c4-c2c93e6ed2d8_1024x1024-768x718.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ecotality.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/71ksIuGP5TL._AC_SL1200_6871916c-d202-4ef8-99c4-c2c93e6ed2d8_1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-22354 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"Bluetti AC200P Solar Generator\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  > <\/picture>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd7c0b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fd7c0b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The battery capacity of the AC200P is also incredible.

At this price, you might as well buy two Lion Safari generators and still save yourself nearly $1,500!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cc8c5d elementor-cta--skin-classic elementor-animated-content elementor-bg-transform elementor-bg-transform-zoom-in elementor-widget elementor-widget-call-to-action\" data-id=\"1cc8c5d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"call-to-action.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-cta__title elementor-cta__content-item elementor-content-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWhere to Buy\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__description elementor-cta__content-item elementor-content-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCheck Out the Lion Energy - Safari LT 500 Portable Solar Generator\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-cta__button-wrapper elementor-cta__content-item elementor-content-item \">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-cta__button elementor-button elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/shopsolarkits.com\/products\/lion-energy-500-watt-portable-solar-generator-safari-lt?_pos=1&#038;_sid=29a247835&#038;_ss=r&#038;ref=pBtudQPYogQEqb\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCHECK PRICE\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d5bd98a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2d5bd98a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Final Words<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14981ca9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"14981ca9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While 4Patriots offer some high-quality survival gear, their solar generators have fallen behind industry standards.
