Our inverters sense when there is no power consumption and switch to Search mode, which requires almost no power. Inverters vs Generators Inverters and generators complement each other very well. However, generators have some limitations which should be addressed. Generators are extremely noisy. Generators are not designed for small loads.
Inverters can provide the same power as most generators.
Generators use almost as much fuel for light duty as they do for heavy duty. Trace inverters require no fuel at all, operating for pennies on the hour. Obtaining replacement parts for generators can be extremely difficult. One of the more common misconceptions is the number of batteries required to power an inverter. Dependent on the size of inverter used, a typical battery bank can vary from two to eight batteries.
