There is no such thing as a "Solar Generator." Perpetuating the ignorance of a word which has had a specific meaning for a century just confuses the ignorant and allows significant scams to exist, merely by means of abusing the common meaning and understanding of the word.
I refuse to read any articles that use this fraudulent word game to further social engineering agenda, or to exploit the ignorant.
Generators have been traditionally defined as mechanical devices that produce electrical energy by converting some other form of mechanical, physical or other potentially storeable energy.
Solar is more clearly a conversion device that creates electrical energy from solar energy, which must be somehow stored or used immediately, in order to perform useful work.
"Solar coverters power Sandy-stricken areas" would be a more accurate and clearer headline.
Well, there is, but not what the bozo "reporter" is writing about. You're right, these are just solar panels. There are solar generators that generate steam to turn a turbine, technically that's a solar heated steam powered turbine.

Ditto! Calling solar panels "solar generators" is nuts. A theft of language.
