SOLAR ELECTRIC HYBRID BACKUP POWER SYSTEM

A device for supplying electrical power including one or more photovoltaic panels. An example device includes a primary battery electrically coupled to the photovoltaic panels. An electric motor is electrically coupled to either or both of the primary battery and the photovoltaic panels. A generator is mechanically coupled to the electric motor. A positive bus bar and negative bus bar are electrically coupled to the generator. At least one secondary battery is electrically coupled to the bus bars. At least one electrical outlet electrically coupled to the positive bus bar and negative bus bar. Electrical energy is stored in the at least one secondary battery when the supply from the generator exceeds the demand on the at least one electrical outlet. Electrical energy is discharged from the at least one secondary battery when the demand from the at least one electrical outlet exceeds the supply from the generator.
