Uninterrupted Power Starts Here
If you need dependable backup power in Canada—for outages, remote sites, or continuous operation—an Elios generator gives you a robust, proven layer of reliability alongside your Solar Energy system. The Elios 20kW dual-fuel (LPG & natural gas) liquid-cooled generator is designed for stable, efficient performance in Residential, Commercial, Industrial, and Off-Grid environments.
Pair it with the right accessories—automatic transfer switch, noise reduction cover, WiFi controller, and cold-weather kits—to build a complete, “always-ready” solution for real-world conditions.
Best practice for energy independence: Solar Panels + Hybrid Inverter + Batteries plus a generator for long outages or winter-heavy usage (especially for off-grid solar system builds).

Accessories that make your backup system complete
Noise Reduction Cover
Helps reduce sound output—useful for residential areas, noise-sensitive sites, and tighter installations.
Automatic Transfer Switch (200A, 120/240V)
An automatic transfer switch is the core of a professional backup setup. It automatically transfers loads to generator power during an outage and switches back when utility power returns.
WiFi Controller
Adds remote visibility and control—great for monitoring status, especially for off-grid properties or commercial sites.
Cold-Weather / Winter Readiness
For Canadian winters, cold-start reliability matters. These accessories help support smoother operation in low temperatures:
- Battery Heater
- Oil Heater
- Coolant Heater

Why add a generator to your solar setup? (mini buyer guide)
Coverage for long outages
Batteries are great for short to moderate outages. A generator shines when outages last longer—keeping essentials (or full loads) running without worrying about solar production or battery capacity.
Off-grid reliability
For remote sites and cabins, a generator acts as a dependable fallback during extended cloudy periods or high-demand seasons.
High-load support
Larger homes and commercial setups may need higher peak power capacity than a small backup system can deliver. A 20kW-class generator supports bigger loads confidently.
Set it and forget it” automation
With an automatic transfer switch (ATS), the generator can start and switch loads automatically when the grid fails—one of the biggest quality-of-life upgrades for backup systems.

How to choose the right generator setup
Define what you want to power
- Essentials only (lights, Wi-Fi, fridge, sump pump)
- Partial home backup
- Whole-home backup
- Commercial / continuous loads
Decide how “automatic” you want it
If you want hands-free outage protection, add an automatic transfer switch.
Plan for noise and placement
If sound matters, include the noise reduction cover and place the unit thoughtfully (dealer/installer guidance helps here).
Prepare for winter
If your system must run year-round, cold-weather heaters (or the full winter kit) improve cold-start confidence.
Integrate with your solar system
A generator works best as part of a full stack:
- Solar Panels → generate power
- Hybrid Inverters → manage solar + grid + battery
- Batteries → silent backup + nightly power
- Generator → long-outage + heavy-load reliability
This combination is especially valuable for off-grid and high-uptime sites.
Need reliable backup power without interruption?
Whether you want peace of mind during outages or continuous power for an Off-Grid setup, Elios generators deliver dependable performance when you need it most. Elios authorized dealers can help you choose the right model and accessories based on your loads, location, and winter conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a generator still useful if I have solar and batteries?
Yes. Batteries handle short outages silently. A generator is ideal for long outages, winter-heavy usage, and higher continuous loads.
What does an automatic transfer switch (ATS) do?
An ATS automatically switches your power from grid to generator during an outage (and back again when power returns), creating a seamless backup experience.
Why choose dual-fuel (LPG & natural gas)?
Dual-fuel flexibility helps match the generator to your site’s available fuel supply and backup strategy
How can I reduce generator noise?
A noise reduction cover helps lower sound output, and correct placement/installation also makes a big difference.
What accessories do I need for Canadian winters?
Cold-weather reliability improves with a battery heater, oil heater, coolant heater, or the 3-piece winter kit.
Can this work for off-grid setups?
Yes. Generators are commonly used in off-grid systems to provide dependable power when solar production is low or when loads spike.
