1. Definition and scale


(1) Solar generator:

Usually refers to a smaller device that converts sunlight directly into electrical energy through solar panels, and may be equipped with batteries to store electrical energy so that it can provide power when there is no sunlight. Solar generators are suitable for outdoor camping, RV travel, field operations and other scenarios that require portable power.


(2) Solar power station:

It is a larger-scale power generation facility designed specifically for power supply. It uses a large-area solar panel array to collect solar energy, converts DC power into AC power through an inverter, and then transmits it to the grid or directly supplies large electrical equipment. Solar power stations are usually used in cities, enterprises and other places that require long-term stable power supply.


2. Application scenarios


(1) Solar generator:

Due to their portability and flexibility, solar generators are ideal for outdoor activities and temporary power needs. It can provide reliable power support in places where there is no grid coverage or the grid power supply is unstable.


(2) Solar power station:

It is more used in large-scale power supply scenarios, such as supplementing urban power grids and power supply in remote areas. Solar power stations can achieve long-term, large-scale power output and meet various power needs.


3. Cost and benefit


(1) Solar generator:

Although the initial investment is relatively low, its power output and storage capabilities are limited, making it suitable for small-scale, short-term electricity needs. For scenarios that require long-term, large-scale power supply, solar generators may not be as cost-effective as solar power stations.


(2) Solar power station:

Although the initial investment is large, its long-term operating costs are low and it can achieve large-scale power output. With the advancement of technology and reduction of costs, solar power stations have become an important choice for more and more areas to achieve renewable energy substitution.


To sum up, there are significant differences between solar generators and solar power stations in terms of definition, scale, application scenarios, and costs and benefits. Which device to choose depends on the specific power needs and scenarios.
