A standby generator is a permanently installed power system designed to provide automatic backup electricity during a power outage. It is typically connected to a building’s electrical system and powered by diesel, natural gas, or propane. Standby generators are equipped with an automatic transfer switch (ATS) that detects power loss and seamlessly starts the generator to restore power within seconds. Widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, they ensure uninterrupted operation of critical systems like lighting, HVAC, medical equipment, and IT infrastructure. Standby generators are valued for their reliability, long-term durability, and ability to handle large power loads.

An inverter generator is a type of generator that produces clean and stable electricity by converting DC (direct current) power generated by the engine into AC (alternating current) power using advanced electronics. It delivers a consistent and reliable power output, making it suitable for sensitive electronic devices like laptops, smartphones, and medical equipment. Known for their compact size, lightweight design, and fuel efficiency, inverter generators operate quietly and adjust engine speed based on power demand. They are commonly used for camping, outdoor events, and residential backup, offering convenience and reliability in portable power solutions.

A portable diesel generator (portable DG) is a compact and mobile power generation unit that uses diesel fuel to produce electricity. Designed for easy transportation and operation, it consists of a diesel engine, an alternator, and essential controls mounted on a portable frame or wheels. Portable DGs are commonly used for temporary power supply in outdoor events, construction sites, camping, and emergency backup during power outages. They are valued for their durability, fuel efficiency, and ability to provide reliable power in locations without access to the grid.
