Auto start generator

GENERGY Automatic Start Generators

At GENERGY, we are pioneers in the design of small and medium-scale automatic start generators, especially as backup for photovoltaic installations. Over the years, we have perfected our start-up systems to offer increasingly reliable solutions. Unlike other brands that adapt generic models, at GENERGY we develop specific generators for each application, such as the ATS range for power outages or the SOL series, designed for solar photovoltaic backup. Learn about our Genergy automatic start-up kit for electric generators.

Automatic start generator for photovoltaic solar energy backup

Solar and wind power systems generate clean energy, but they depend on weather conditions. When there is little sunlight or energy consumption is high, the batteries can run down. In these cases, having an automatic dry-contact electric generator is key to maintaining the power supply.

Automatic start generator solar panels

The solar inverter detects when the battery is low and sends a signal for the generator to start and recharge the batteries. Once charged, the inverter stops the generator automatically.

The GENERGY models in the “SOL” series are specially designed for this purpose. Key features of our portable gasoline generators with automatic start include:

• Moncayo SOL
• Mulhacen SOL
• Crete SOL
• Creta Silent SOL

In the diesel range, all GENERGY models are equipped to function as photovoltaic backup generators.

If you are using an inverter from a brand other than GENERGY, avoid the Moncayo SOL and Mulhacén SOL models, as they are not inverters and may not be compatible with your inverter. In these cases, we recommend the Creta SOL or Creta Silent SOL automatic-start inverter generator models, or any of our diesel generators for photovoltaic systems.

Automatic Mains Outage Generators (ATS)

Automatic mains failure generators start up autonomously when a power outage occurs and supply electricity to the facility. When the mains power is restored, the generator switches off and remains on standby until the next outage.

These devices require an automatic transfer switch (ATS), which selects the active power source (mains or generator) and prevents the two from crossing.

GENERGY offers solutions from 6,000 W to more than 300 kW. Depending on the model:

• Mulhacén ATS: incorporates the ATS in the control panel.
• Creta ATS, Creta Silent ATS and all diesel models: require external ATS box.

Automatic start generator set

In addition, our automatic start generator sets allow for start-up via floats, timers, and other advanced options.

Functions of an automatic starter generator

• Automatically detect power outages
• Start the generator automatically when the power grid fails
• Transfer power from the grid to the generator using a system ATS
• Provide uninterrupted power during power outages
• Turn off automatically when power is restored
• Integrate with solar systems for backup power
• Ensure the automatic operation of critical equipment

The ATS system manages the entire startup, shutdown, and transfer process.

Uses of an automatic-start generator set

• Homes (automatic backup during power outages)
• Generator with automatic start-up for businesses, stores, and offices
• Security systems (alarms, cameras, access control)
• Solar systems with batteries
• Critical equipment (cooling systems, servers, machinery)
• Industries and production processes
• Any environment where the power supply cannot be interrupted

It is essential when electricity must be continuous and automatic.

Benefits of a generator with automatic start

• Fully automatic operation without user intervention
• Uninterrupted power supply at all times
• Protecting equipment from power outages
• Reducing financial losses caused by power outages
• Greater comfort and safety
• Immediate response to power outages
• Integration with advanced energy systems

Avoid interruptions and ensure total energy security.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is an automatic start generator?

An automatic start generator is a device that turns on automatically when it detects a power outage.
It restores power without manual intervention and turns off automatically when the grid comes back on.

What is an automatic starter generator used for?

It serves as a backup system to ensure continuous power supply in homes, businesses, and critical facilities.
It is ideal for preventing interruptions in appliances, servers, medical or industrial systems.

How does the automatic start-up of a generator work?

It works by means of an ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) panel that detects the power failure and activates the generator.
When the power grid is restored, the system transfers the load back and shuts down the generator.

How much power does an automatic start generator need for a house?

For a home, an automatic generator between 5 and 10 kW is recommended, depending on electricity consumption.
The power depends on the appliances that you want to run simultaneously.

How much does an automatic start generator cost?

The price of a generator with automatic start-up starts at around €1,500 and can exceed €6,000 depending on power and technology.
Factors such as fuel, soundproofing, brand, and type of installation also influence the price.
