Back Up Diesel Generators

Commodore Australia supplies top-quality, diesel generators. Our generators are up to the task of delivering reliable, uninterrupted power in the toughest climate conditions. From remote off-grid living to critical backup and outage protection, our diesel generators ensure Aussie homes and businesses have the power they need, whenever it’s needed.

Reliable and Efficient Back-Up Power

A generator plays a critical role in off-grid living, providing backup when the solar panels cannot generate enough power or the battery is depleted.

Backup Power Source: When solar panels and batteries can't meet energy demands, a generator kicks in to supply electricity to essential loads, and ensures uninterrupted power.

Battery Charging: Generators can charge the battery bank directly, helping to maintain the battery's health and prolonging its life during low solar production periods.

Supplementing Power Loads: In cases of high energy demand beyond the capacity of the solar system, the generator can provide supplemental power to handle peak loads.

While off-grid solar systems aim to minimise generator use to save on fuel and maintenance, they are still a vital component for ensuring consistent, reliable power.
