Torven Power FAQs

Find practical answers about choosing power equipment, orders, shipping, returns, warranties, manuals, compatibility, and installation planning.

Product fit & sizing

How do I choose a power station?

Compare continuous output, surge output, usable watt-hours, recharge options, and expansion support. Start with the appliance runtime and sizing guide, then use the Power Planner to organize your loads and desired runtime.

How much home battery capacity do I need?

For each load, multiply its running watts by the number of hours you expect to use it. Add those watt-hours, then include conversion losses and a practical reserve. Separately confirm that the inverter can handle both continuous load and starting surge. See the home battery sizing guide or use the Power Planner. A planning estimate does not replace a site-specific design.

Should I choose a battery power station or a gas generator?

The answer depends on runtime, fuel access, noise, maintenance, and where the equipment will operate. Never run a gas or propane generator indoors or in an enclosed space because carbon monoxide can be fatal. Read the side-by-side comparison and follow the manufacturer’s safety and operating instructions for either option.

Can I connect any solar panel to any power station or inverter?

No. The panel or array must stay within the equipment manufacturer’s input limits and use compatible connections. Check the exact-model manual for voltage, current, wattage, connector, and polarity requirements. If anything is unclear, send us the model numbers before connecting equipment.

Orders & shipping

When will I receive tracking information?

Tracking information is sent when it becomes available. Freight tracking may come directly from the carrier, and delivery dates are estimates rather than guarantees. See the current Shipping Policy for the full process.

Why did only part of my order arrive?

Products in the same order may ship from different U.S. warehouse partners, arrive separately, and use different carriers or tracking numbers. Check each tracking message first; if an item appears missing, contact Torven Power with the order number.

What should I do if a shipment is lost, damaged, or missing items?

Contact Torven with your order number, photos and any carrier documentation. We will coordinate the claim and next steps with the supplier and carrier. Return shipping is covered for approved damage or defect returns. See the Shipping Policy for delivery-inspection and reporting details.

Returns & refunds

How do I request a return?

Email support@torvenpower.com within 30 days of delivery with your order number, item and reason for return. Torven will help you get started and provide return instructions. See the Return & Refund Policy for item condition and return-shipping details.

Can I ship a return before Torven replies?

Contact Torven first so we can provide the correct return destination and any return authorization you need. This helps your return reach the right team and avoids delays.

Warranty & troubleshooting

Who provides warranty coverage?

Warranty coverage and claim steps vary by the exact brand, model, application, and manufacturer’s written terms. Torven can help you identify the correct warranty document, claim process, and information to prepare. Review Warranty Information or contact us with your order number and exact model.

What should I prepare for warranty help?

Have the Torven order number, exact product model, serial number when available, issue description, and clear photos or video. Troubleshooting and other requirements depend on the manufacturer’s process.

Manuals & installation

How do I find the right product manual?

Start with the exact Torven product page and confirm the full model name, suffix, voltage, and revision. Do not substitute a manual for a similar-looking model. If the correct document is missing, send the exact model to Torven for help locating the applicable source.

Does matching voltage or connector shape prove components are compatible?

No. Current limits, voltage windows, polarity, communication protocols, environmental limits, and manufacturer instructions can all affect compatibility. Verify the complete exact-model requirements before ordering or connecting components.

Can Torven’s guides replace a site-specific electrical design?

No. Guides, calculators, product pages, and support conversations are informational. Hardwired, high-voltage, transfer-switch, and service-panel work should follow manufacturer instructions and applicable codes and be evaluated and completed by a qualified professional.
