Diesel Generators 
A diesel generator is the combination of a diesel engine with an electrical generator, often an alternator, to generate electrical energy. Diesel generators are best used for the emergency power supply but are also critical for more complex applications such as peak-lopping, grid support and exporting energy to the power grid.  

Portable Generators 
A portable generator is any generator on wheels that usually runs off of gasoline as fuel, making them perfect for commercial or industrial use. 

Natural Gas Generators 
Natural gas generators are simply power generators that run on natural gas as the fuel source. The type of power generator you select will depend on your personal power generation needs. You can choose from a variety of generator sets ranging in size from 20kW – 2500kW and engines ranging in size from 150hp – 4000hp.
