Generators rated at 12,000 W or more
A generator with 12,000 watts or more is a high-powered unit: ideal for large homes, construction sites, industrial applications, agriculture, and critical backup power—when you need plenty of power for entire facilities and heavy machinery.
In this category, Genergy offers two options: high-power gasoline inverter generators (13 to 19 kW, with remote start, ATS, and solar backup) and the GDS line of diesel generator sets (20 to 358 kVA) designed for continuous and intensive use. We’re here to help you choose.

What is a generator with a capacity of 12,000 W or more?
This is a high-power generator, designed for situations where 12 kW isn't enough: to power entire facilities, heavy machinery, large homes, or to provide backup for critical systems. At this power level and above, the choice between gas and diesel is key, depending on the application.
High-power inverter gasoline generators (Bali, Izoard, Stelvio, Borneo, from 13 to 19 kW) are portable, provide stable power, and offer remote start, automatic (ATS), and solar backup options; they are ideal for powerful backup power and non-continuous use. GDS diesel generator sets (20 to 358 kVA) are designed for continuous and intensive use, offering long runtime and lower hourly fuel consumption, and are available in single-phase and three-phase versions. Below you’ll find the high-capacity gasoline models and a selection from the diesel range; full details on the latter are available on their respective product pages.
Generator models rated at 12,000 W or more
Filter by technology: high-power inverter gasoline (13–19 kW, portable) or GDS diesel (20–358 kVA, continuous duty).
Gasoline or diesel for high power?
For units rated at 12 kW or higher, the choice between an inverter gas generator and a GDS diesel generator depends primarily on how many hours you’ll use the equipment and how frequently.
| If you need… | Inverter Gasoline (13–19 kW) | GDS Diesel (20–358 kVA) |
|---|---|---|
| Occasional use / backup | Ideal | Oversized for occasional use |
| Continuous and intensive use | Less suitable | The best option |
| Portability | Laptop | Fixed/Body-Mounted Equipment |
| Extended battery life | All right, filling up with gas | Maximum, minimum hourly consumption |
| High power (>20 kW) | Up to ~19 kW | From 20 to 358 kVA |
| Steady current (electronics) | Yes, inverter | AVR Alternator |
| Automatic Start (ATS) | Yes (RC-SOL-ATS) | Yes, with an ATS frame |

Frequently Asked Questions About Generators Rated at 12,000 W or More
What can a 12,000-watt or larger generator power?
Complete facilities, heavy machinery, large homes, or critical systems. With gasoline, you can reach up to ~19 kW in a portable format; with diesel, from 20 to 358 kVA for continuous and intensive use. The exact power output depends on consumption and startup peaks.
Inverter gasoline or GDS diesel?
The inverter gasoline generator (13–19 kW) is portable, versatile, and ideal for backup power and intermittent use. The GDS diesel generator (20–358 kVA) is better suited for continuous and intensive use due to its longer runtime and lower hourly fuel consumption, and it is the best option for power outputs exceeding 20 kW.
How many kW is the kVA of the diesel engine?
kVA represents apparent power, and kW represents useful active power; with a power factor of 0.8, a 20 kVA unit provides about 16 kW. When sizing a system, what matters is the actual power consumption (kW) of the installation.
Single-phase or three-phase?
Three-phase power (400V) is used for industrial machinery and high-power equipment. The GDS diesel engines in this series are three-phase; the large gasoline engines are single-phase (230V). If you need a three-phase gasoline engine, please ask us about our other series.
Do they have an automatic start system (ATS)?
Yes. The RC-SOL-ATS gasoline-powered generators (Bali, Borneo) and the GDS diesel generators (with ATS control panel) start automatically in the event of a power outage, providing unattended backup power.
Where can I see the entire diesel lineup?
Here is an example of a range. The complete diesel range (14, 20, 27, 47, 69, 94, 127, 158, 204, 275, 358 kVA) can be found on the pages for generator sets, industrial applications, 100 kVA, and residential use.
Do you offer a warranty and technical support?
Yes. Genergy is a manufacturer that offers a comprehensive warranty, its own after-sales service, direct replacement parts, and a network of distributors throughout Spain.
