Maldives Generator Buying Guide and Tips

• Right size: For homes/villas, 2–3 kW inverters are fine; resorts or businesses need 10–50+ kVA diesels.
• Noise levels: Inverters are ~50–60 dB @ 7m, good for residential use. Enclosed diesels ~65–75 dB.
• Fuel choice: Petrol inverters are easy for homes. Diesel is preferred for resorts and longer runtimes.
• Installation: Always use a licensed installer; never back-feed the island grid. Install ATS or manual changeover switches.
• Climate factors: Salt air and humidity demand corrosion-resistant housings and covered placement. Use running covers.
• Maintenance: First oil change early, then follow service intervals. Stock oil, plugs, and filters. Run monthly under load.
• Accessories: Wheel kits, rated cords, fuel cans, and UPS units for electronics.
