Learn how Victron's MicroGrid function enables integrated hybrid generators with proven components and fleet-level IoT monitoring that scale to meet any power need.

What is a hybrid generator? Why do they exist? What can I do with this technology? Let's look at a job site scenario to understand the value of of hybridization. 

Why are most job site generators oversized and grossly inefficient? In this article, we review the overload vs. inefficiency dilemma of traditional generators, and set the stage for understanding how hybridization delivers. 

Victron's MicroGrid function allows an unlimited combination of Victron systems to operate in parallel and to communicate with each other to support larger loads in distributed systems.

Hybrid generator systems are transforming how we think about energy. They’re cleaner, smarter, and more efficient—giving you the reliability of a generator without the drawbacks of a generator-only system.

What's the best generator for battery based systems? It's time to revisit what's possible and to get out of the rut, we need new solutions.

Understand how Victron's PowerAssist function works, its value to any power system, and practical scenarios where PowerAssist saves the day.

Victron's DVCC function is simple, powerful, and at first glance, confusing. In this article, we’ll discuss what it is and how it works to coordinate systems-level control over multiple charging sources to manage a lithium battery bank.

 

Is a DC generator advantageous in off-grid or mobile power systems? In this article we compare the DC Hatz fiPMG generator with a popular AC generator option, the 14kW Kohler.
