4 FAQs about Advantages and disadvantages of a 100kWh outdoor cabinet versus a diesel generator

Are outdoor generators a good idea?

Outdoor generators have the added advantage of being installed away from a building, therefore reducing noise pollution and disturbances due to vibrations. Just remember — outdoor units still need to feed into transfer switches and emergency paneling, which are often located in remote rooms within the business or building.

Are Indoor generators cheaper than outdoor generators?

This also means outdoor generators tend to be cost-friendlier up front. Indoor generators are always installed inside building-code compliant generator rooms. Outfitting these generator rooms is the fundamental process of establishing a high-functioning commercial indoor generator.

Are outdoor generators more cost-conscious?

Outdoor generators are nearly always more cost-conscious. This is due in large part to their installation nature. Rather than building and configuring an entire room dedicated to housing a compliant large-scale generator, businesses install turn-key commercial units.

Why should you choose a commercial outdoor generator installation?

Proper fuel intake controls and adapters are available. Building fire codes are observed. In general, more organizations opt for commercial outdoor generator installation due to ease of installation process and less worries about dedicating a room specifically for a stationary generator.
