The main difference between an inverter generator and a traditional generator is that an inverter generator uses an inverter to convert DC power into AC power, while a traditional generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. An inverter generator typically has more advanced features than a traditional generator such as better efficiency, higher output voltage, and lower noise levels. Additionally, an inverter generator can be used with renewable sources of electricity such as solar or wind power, whereas a traditional generator cannot.
