Jackery Says More Canadians Are Considering Solar Generators for Home Power
Jackery says more Canadian households are considering solar generators as winter heating season begins and energy bills draw attention.
The company presents these devices as a quieter alternative to gas generators for backup power at home.
Gas generators need fuel and must run outdoors, away from windows and doors.
Jackery cites a U.S. safety agency's warning that one portable generator can produce as much carbon monoxide as hundreds of cars.
In St. John's, furnace oil cost $2.16 per litre on October 3, though the available text does not complete its comparison with an earlier price.
