Our Main Power Supply, Anywhere

Most generators are sold for backup to cover you when the grid fails. But what happens when there’s no grid at all? That’s where prime power generators come in.

A prime rated generator isn’t just insurance. It’s your main power supply. Businesses and communities use them every day in places where mains electricity isn’t available, or reliable enough to trust.

Prime or Standby — Which Do You Need?

It’s easy to mix up prime power and standby power, but the difference is simple:

Prime Power Generators

Your main power source. They’re designed to run continuously, often in off-grid or remote locations.

Standby Generators

Your backup. They sit idle until the grid fails, then kick in to keep things running.

If you’re operating off-grid, you’ll need a prime rated generator sized for continuous use. If you’re protecting against blackouts, a standby generator may be all you need.

At SGH, we’ll help you choose the right option — and make sure it’s installed, tested, and maintained for total peace of mind.

Prime power isn’t just for one sector — it’s for any operation where mains power isn’t available or reliable. SGH supplies continuous power solutions to businesses and communities across Australia. With SGH, you’re not just getting a generator — you’re getting a partner who understands the unique challenges of your industry.

What is a prime power generator?

A prime power generator is designed to be your main source of electricity. Unlike standby units, which only run during outages, prime rated generators can power your site or business continuously.

What’s the difference between a prime and standby generator?

Standby = backup. Prime = main supply. If you’re off-grid or need constant power, choose prime. If you’re only protecting against blackouts, standby is the better fit.

Can a prime power generator run 24/7?

Yes. Prime rated generators are built for continuous operation, provided they’re correctly sized and serviced.

What size continuous power generator do I need?

It depends on your load. A farm shed might need 30kVA, while a mining camp could need 500kVA+. Our team will size the right unit for you.

Do you install off-grid generator power systems?

Absolutely. SGH supplies complete off-grid solutions — combining generators with solar and battery storage for efficient, reliable power.
