Nature's Generator Elite Gold - WE System

Can the power panels be permanently installed on a roof of a building, rather than a portable set up?

Hi Tom, Thank you for your query. Yes, the power panels can be installed on a residential roof/building permanently. Sadly, we do not sell the accessory but I believe that these are available from most hardware stores. If you have any follow-up questions, you may reach our support directly via (800) 203-7516, chat, and or email us at support@naturesgenerator.com

What is the expected recharge cycle life (I hope I have my terminology correct)? I am considering a Nature's Generator Elite and am researching how long I should expect the battery to last before replacing.

Hi Eric, Thank you for your query. Nature's Generator has taken considerable time to review the different battery options.  While both provide pros and cons, we ultimately decided to choose the safer and more affordable option, which is sealed-lead acid.  Sealed lead acid has been around for centuries and is proven safe.  Additionally, there are significant cost savings and an overall feeling of safety with this proven technology.  It also has the ability to infinitely daisy-chain power pods to grow your system which cannot be accomplished by other technologies.

The typical life span of an SLA battery is 500 to 800 full charge cycles.

We recommend charging Nature's Generators for at least 24hrs when the product is first received.  Thereafter, if you do not plan on using it, we recommend that you charge it 100% prior to putting it away.  Additionally, we highly recommend that you recharge the generator at least once every four months.  This will keep the battery active and provide optimum performance when the time comes to use it.

I'm looking at buying a elite system with 2 solar cells and a wind turbine plus an inverter. I don't see a price for this. Can you quote me on this?

I need to run an evaporative cooler fun (about 150w) for about 6 to 7 hours a day. 3 hours in the early morning and 3 to 4 hours in the afternoon. Will this generator be able to support that?

Hi, thank you for your query, The Elite gold system has a battery capacity of 1200-WH. Running 150-Watts on this system, assuming that nothing else is being powered, it should run your cooler for approximately 7 to 8 hours at most, on a single charge. If you have additional questions, please reach us at support@naturesgenerator.com.

Can the wind turbine be permanently installed or emergency use only? I have the elite with 4 panels, wind turbine, 1 power pod and generator what is the best way to set up charging of pod and generator?

Hello Doug,

Thanks for your inquiry. 

It is recommended to set up the wind turbine permanently. One of our customers uploaded a video guide on YouTube on how they set up their wind turbine, this video might be helpful for you. Please click the link below:

For your generator and power pod set up, you can connect 2 solar panels and the wind turbine on the generator, and the other 2 solar panels go to the power pod

I am looking to convert my goat barn to solar power. In the summer we generally run a Fan (160w), a LED light ( 8W), and 2 cameras (Prob 8w each) 24 hours a day. Occasionally , may run a shop-vac for short periods during clean out. Could this system satisfy the power needs without relying on AC?

Hello Stewart,

Thanks for your inquiry.

The total wattage of your appliances is 184 Watts. If you want to continuously run all of these for 24 hours you might need to add 2 - 3 power pods, and adding a power pod will also require you to add solar panels to charge the extra power pods. 2 solar panels for each power pod will be the recommended setup.

If I buy the elite with the wind tube. What else will I need to buy to get the wind tube up and running?

Hi Rene,

Everything that you need to run the generator is included in the box except the pole/tower that you need for the wind turbine. Our wind turbine is designed to mount on a nominal 1.5-inch schedule 40 steel tubing or piping.  The outside diameter of the tubing or piping shall be around 1.875 to 1.900 inches.  Under no circumstances should the plastic pipe be used to construct a tower.  The tower must be capable of withstanding 160 pounds of load in the horizontal direction at the wind turbine. We recommend that you set up the wind turbine at least 20 to 30 feet above any nearby obstructions. Our Wind Turbine is a complete electrical system.  After the Wind Turbine is set up, you can just connect the cable to Nature's Generators and you are ready to go.

Hello, I'm in a cold climate that can reach -20 degrees Fahrenheit in winter. Can the generators withstand below zero temperatures in a garage as well as the solar panals? Thank you

Hello Edward,

Thanks for reaching us!

Cold temperatures can impact Nature's Generator Elite performance. If you are in an area that will be
consistency below freezing, we recommend keeping your Nature's Generator Elite in an insulated
location and connected to a solar panel.

Hello, I was looking at the Nature's Generator Elite Gold - WE System (2 panels & windmill). I wanted to know if it would power the ac in the airstream Bambi 16 (13,600 btu) and possibly for how long? I read that there’s an ac kit I would buy, how much are they? Also says it won’t be ready until aug 31st? Is that the quickest? We also live in Thousand Oaks, just down the street. And also wanted to know what your veteran discounts are. Thanks!

Hello-

Thanks for reaching out to us and for your interest in our product!

Please see answers to your questions below.

1. I wanted to know if it would power the ac in the airstream Bambi 16 (13,600 btu) and possibly for how long?
    a. At 13,600 BTU you are looking at about 4000 watts of power to operate the air conditioning unit.  At that power consumption our Nature's Generator Elite would not be able to power the AC system.  
2. I read that there’s an ac kit I would buy, how much are they? 
    a. Our AC system is $4,999.99, but unfortunately it would also not be able to power your AC system.  
3. Also says it won’t be ready until aug 31st? Is that the quickest?
    a. At this present time, that is the earliest date we have.  We are due to receive the shipment mid to late August.
4. And also wanted to know what your veteran discounts are.
    a. We do offer a Veteran / Military discount, we would need proof of service.  Once that is received we would provide you with a 10% discount code that can be used on our website.


Thanks,

I want to add to a cabin where the Average wind speed is 6 MPH. Will the Wind Turbine make enough Voltage to charge the batteries

Hi Ron,

Thank you for reaching out and for showing interest in our products. We recommend at least a consistent 10mph. The ideal wind would be consistent in the same direction. The gust of wind or changing direction of wind may reduce the power generation of the Wind Turbine. If you have any follow-up questions, you may reach our support directly via (800) 975-7909, or email us at support@naturesgenerator.com. We'll be more than happy to assist you!

Does 1.5 schedule 40 black pipe work for wind generator stand
