Power plan
Decide whether the tracker can use generator power, battery backup, solar charging or a mix.

GPS Tracker for Generators: What Buyers Should Check
Generators are remote, expensive and often left outside. The right tracker depends on power, solar charging, mounting, alarms and service workflow.
Buying checklist
Do not choose a generator tracker from location alone.
Generator projects need a realistic view of how the asset is powered, whether the tracker can stay charged, how it is mounted and what the team should do when the asset moves or loses power.
Outdoor exposure
Check enclosure, cable entry, mounting position and weather exposure before samples.
Tamper and movement
Movement alerts, power alerts and geofence events should match the response workflow.
Network coverage
Remote generator sites may have weak coverage, so country, operator and network mode matter.
Hardware path
A700-style solar tracking may fit remote generator projects.
When a generator sits outdoors for long periods, solar-assisted asset tracking can be considered after checking sunlight, installation position, report frequency and expected battery reserve.
