Generator to solar: how RS Energy helps you ditch fuel costs

Pakistan’s unfortunate energy situation means that consumers have to look elsewhere to ensure that they have continuous access to energy. From routine blackouts to unscheduled blackouts, and the random upgrades or maintenance work that takes down the grid with it, the task becomes rather difficult, which is why generators became quite a common sight when blackouts became common. However, the additional fuel costs and added maintenance only served to further intensify the problem; until solar energy arrived on the scene.

So, in this blog post, we will take a look at how RS Energy solar is far better than a generator, and what benefits solar energy has over generators and other sources.

Generators: expensive equations for energy!

Generators have now become a thing of the past, especially for smaller, residential applications, with the advent of solar energy. While they had a good run, the simple matter of fact is that the running costs can get too much for consumers, especially when you have to keep them running for longer periods across many days.

And then the added issue of performing maintenance on them, and the issue of balancing the consumption with the output of the generator, which has the tendency of dying out when stressed out.

However, the main equation that complicates the entire arrangement is the fact that the fuel costs can become too much for consumers to be able to afford. And with blackouts becoming more and more common as time went on, running and operating a high-output generator simply became too much for consumers.

This is where solar energy came in and revolutionised the access to renewable energy for consumers looking for a break from the high operating costs of the generator as well as a break from the constant breakdowns of the grid, resulting in lengthy blackouts that would only serve to further intensify the search for a better source of energy.

Solar: solution for high fuel costs

Solar energy has become the primary means for consumers looking to solve their energy issues; beyond just helping the premises stay energised, solar energy solutions also help consumers save big on their energy bills, not to mention the addition of a battery makes energy storage possible, ensuring that even during extended blackouts and rainy days, the energy equation is still going to be in the favour of the consumer.

However, one of the biggest gamechangers for the consumers is the fact that there is no fuel cost, and the maintenance costs are essentially negligible when compared to that of a generator.

So, solar energy was always going to be the most logical and rational choice for consumers when faced with the possibility of staying without any energy source in the face of constant breakdowns and blackouts.

Lets quickly discuss the advantages of solar energy over generators to better understand the case.

Solar vs generators: the equation

The argument that whether solar energy is more beneficial for the consumer than the generator becomes irrelevant when you factor in these differences.

i. Maintenance: One of the aspects where solar beats out generators is maintenance and upkeep. Whereas generators can be considered engines in their constant requirement of upkeep, solar energy solutions require a simple wipedowns every couple of weeks, much less than what a conventional generator requires.

ii. Reliability: Compare the reliability of a mechanical generator with a modern, electrical solar energy solution. With less moving parts, there’s less stress on the system, and lesser chance of anything breaking or going awry.

iii. Durability: Generators, especially for residential uses, don’t last more than five years, depending on the make and usage. Whereas solar solutions come with a guaranteed performance of over a decade.

iv. Energy output: Energy output can be scaled up with a solar inverter, not with a generator.
