Propane for Power Generation
Why choose propane? The same propane powering a standby generator or Micro-CHP can also power other major appliances. Propane is non-toxic, meaning it won’t contaminate soil or ground water, and it’s a low-emissions energy source, so it’s a more sustainable choice. Finally, propane doesn’t degrade over time, unlike diesel or gasoline, making it an ideal standby power fuel.

Standby
What A Building Protected By Propane Standby Power Can Do
1. Resist hazards brought on by major disasters, such as damage to electronics, spoiled food, loss of heat or air conditioning, and more.
2. Prevent disruption to a home or business. Propane standby generators begin operating in as little as 10 seconds after a main power outage.
3. Reduce the magnitude or duration of a disruptive event to a property.

Towable & Portable
Why Choose Towable/Portable Propane Power Generation
1. Because they’re not permanently installed, they can be moved and used nearly anywhere, providing power as needed.
2. Propane portable generators are less expensive to operate than diesel-fueled units.
3. Towable propane-powered generators are quieter than diesel and able to store fuel for longer run times in between refueling.

Micro CHP
Benefits of a Propane Micro-CHP System
1. Designed to run indefinitely, they’re an ideal choice for any building with a high thermal load.
2. Propane Micro-CHP units produce far fewer harmful emissions compared with electric grid power, which is typically produced by coal.
3. The hot water the Micro-CHP produces can be used for laundry, heated driveways and sidewalks to remove snow, hot tubs, pools, and more.

Microgrid
The Advantages of a Microgrid
1. Unlike a standby generator, a microgrid can supply power to multiple buildings or even an entire community in the event of a planned or unplanned main power grid outage.
2. By collecting and storing electricity from solar panels and wind turbines, the microgrid only uses its propane generator as needed, making it incredibly efficient and environmentally friendly.
3. Every aspect of the microgrid’s performance is locally controlled at a centralized station.
