What raises and lowers the price of used generators, ups & solar
Condition grade is only part of it. These are the specifics that move a quote up or down in this category.
- The age and health of the battery bank, because a good inverter behind a dead bank is judged as an inverter alone.
- Pure sine wave output, a legible rating plate and a model whose boards and spares are still on the local market.
- For a generator, honest running hours, a service record, and whether it self-starts or carries an automatic changeover panel.
- Whether a gas conversion was done with a proper kit and the petrol side left usable, rather than improvised at the carburettor.
- Completeness: charge controller, mounting frames, MC4 leads, wheels, trolley handle and the manual all count.
When an item is worth parts value only
- An engine that will not start on fresh fuel and a new plug, or that knocks once a load is applied.
- A burnt smell, blown board or corroded transformer inside an inverter, since the board swap costs more than the unit carries.
- Panels with cracked glass, delamination or scorch marks at the junction box.
- Swollen or leaking batteries, which go the lead scrap route rather than being resold as working cells.
