Your Generator Starts Automatically
GenStart detects when your solar batteries are low and starts your backup generator automatically, or extends a dry contact wirelessly to a 2-wire start generator. No more waking up at 2 AM to flip a switch.
Controllers start at $149. Wireless dry-contact kits start at $199.
Why GenStart?
Automatic Start
Detects inverter dry contact signal and cranks your generator automatically. 3 attempts with smart retry logic. Optional auto-choke support.
Wireless Dry Contact Bridge
Use the bridge kit when the generator is too far from the inverter to run a wire. The signal source sits at the inverter; the generator board starts any generator GenStart supports (push-button, key switch or 2-wire start).
AI-Powered
Optional sensor pack enables predictive maintenance. Know when your generator needs service before it fails.
Built For Your Setup
GenStart works with most off-grid inverters with dry contact outputs and generators with electric start. When the generator is too far from the inverter to run a wire, the wireless bridge kit covers the gap, including generators that already have a 2-wire start.
Off-Grid Inverters
Any inverter with programmable dry contact output (EG4, Sol-Ark, Growatt, etc.)
Portable Generators
Any generator with electric start and kill switch (Generac, Honda, Champion, etc.)
Never Lose Power Again
Start with a $149 controller, or a $199 wireless bridge kit when the generator is too far from the inverter to wire. Add the Pro sensor pack when you want monitoring and AI-powered diagnostics.
