"I couldn?t be happier with the work River Sun Solutions did installing my off-grid solar system with generator backup. From the very beginning, their service was absolutely perfect ? professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. The quality of their work really stands out. The installation was done with great attention to detail, and everything was completed to a very high standard. It?s clear they take pride in what they do. Most importantly, my system has been operating for over a year now without a single issue. That kind of reliability speaks volumes about the quality of their design and installation. If you?re considering an off-grid solar setup, I highly recommend River Sun Solutions. They deliver exactly what they promise ? high-quality work and exceptional service."

"We live in the Joshua Tree area and had a Kohler generator installed in 2021. Unfortunately, by 2025, it had failed. A local electrical contractor inspected it but couldn’t repair the issue, so we turned to the expert—Pete Poillon. I’m incredibly glad we did. Pete promptly diagnosed the problem: the controller board needed replacing. Kohler confirmed the part was covered under warranty, but required us to contact their Rancho Cucamonga service location. That’s when things got costly. They charged $3.95 per mile plus $185 per hour for travel time, bringing the total service estimate to a staggering $1,500–$1,800. In hindsight, choosing a Kohler generator was a major misstep. If we had gone with Generac, warranty service would have been handled locally by Poillon Electric at no extra charge. Lesson learned—we won’t make that mistake"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Here’s what you can run with different wattages and types of generators:

Portable generator:

  • 2,000 watts can handle a large appliance like a freezer or refrigerator, plus a few smaller items like phones or computer chargers. 

  • 4,000 watts will keep two large appliances operating and a few smaller devices.

  • 8,000 watts should power most essential appliances and other devices, including a sump pump, well pump, or your dishwasher.

Partial to whole-house generator:

  • 20,000 watts and above will make it seem like your home’s power is still on.

The amount of time a standby generator can run continuously is around 3,000 hours on average. However, standby generators can generally run indefinitely as long as they have a continuous fuel supply. Generators hooked up to a home’s natural gas supply are the best option for extended usage, as these won’t rely on a finite fuel supply based on how much you have in storage. Generators running on liquid propane or diesel won’t last as long, as these require fuel storage and regular refueling to stay running.

Generally, you’ll want to keep between 60 and 70 feet between the generator and the transfer switch. There are a few reasons for this, including:

  • The distance reduces the noise coming from the generator into your home.

  • It increases efficiency because you won’t have a voltage drop from this short of a distance.

  • Prevents carbon monoxide poisoning: keep at least 15 feet between your generator and an open window. 

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

If your home already has a grinder pump and you’re still noticing issues (like frequently clogged toilets and sinks), it could be time to upgrade your grinder pump. Start by checking your existing horsepower. If there are four or fewer people living in your home, using a 1/2-horsepower grinder pump should be sufficient. Larger households should consider investing in a 1-horsepower grinder pump to maximize wastewater removal efforts.
