A standard gas generator is generally much quieter than other types of generators. However, a major drawback is the price and cost of installation of a unit.

The price range when purchasing a power generator depends a great deal on the size of a generator. A small generator for the garage can be purchased for $100.00 while a large industrial generator can cost as much as $30,000.00.
There are many reasons why a generator should stop. If you are referring to a petrol (gasoline) generator, one reason is that it may be overloaded (i.e. its load draws too much current), causing the motor to stall.
To properly install a wind power generator, it will typically cost around 40,000 dollars to install a generator that is large enough to power the entire home.
Too much load for the generator, the generator began to under speed / overspeed, the governor / part of the generator went into failure, the generator capability was not up to the requirements placed by the system (needing to push out/pull in too many VARs), etc. there are many reasons for a generator to drop a load. Because a load dropped, this does not infer that the generator was the cause either (fault on the system, system instability limits reached, system protection tripped - non-generator related protection).
In theory the maximum amount of power arriving from the sun is about 1.3 kilowatts on every square metre. The standard 1.6 square metre solar panel such as installed on roofs in the UK is rated at 220 watts.
