Add up the continuous watts of everything that will run at once, then add in the highest starting watts and that is the minimum size generator Not all loads require starting watts. For example, a light bulb uses the listed watts from the moment the switch turns on until it turns off.
The transfer switch isolates the backup generator from the electric utility when the generator is on and providing temporary power. For example, in a home equipped with a backup generator and an ATS, when an electric utility outage occurs, the ATS will tell the backup generator to start.
The major difference between the two is that continuous generator sets are designed to operate continually with a consistent load, while prime generators are designed to operate for long durations at variable load.

Answer: Lithium batteries are more efficient. This means that more of your solar power is stored and used. As an example, lead-acid batteries are only 80–85% efficient depending on the model and condition. That means if you have 1,000 watts of solar coming into the batteries, there are only 800-850 watts available after the charging and discharging process. Lithium batteries are more than 95% efficient. In the same example, you’d have over 950 watts of power available. Higher efficiency means your batteries charge faster. Depending on the configuration of your system, it could also mean you buying fewer solar panels, less battery capacity, and a smaller backup generator.
The discharge time of a gel battery after sunset depends on its capacity, the power load, and the battery's depth of discharge (DOD). For instance, a 100Ah battery powering a 10-amp load will run for about 10 hours, but to prolong battery life, only about 50% of capacity is typically used, making it last around 5 hours. External factors like temperature and battery health also impact discharge time.
