Never sit in the dark in silence again!  Use the GRENGINE™ to provide you with your in home backup.  It has zero emissions, making it perfectly safe to store and use indoors!

It's completely silent and emission free; the perfect companion for a weekend camping getaway.

You  can use the GRENGINE™ for a variety of light duty corded tools or keep your cordless tool batteries charged up, whether on the jobsite or as DIY project.

Show a late night movie in the woods! Or simply have silent power available for your next outdoor event, whether it's a wedding, a photo shoot, or your niece's 12th birthday extravaganza.

When you take the GRENGINE™ on the road, you'll never be stranded waiting for a tow.  The built in jumpstarter will keep your trip moving along!

Each battery (which weighs only 12 lbs) is the power equivalent of a 12V 100 Amp hour lead acid battery (which typically weighs 85 lbs). This means that with the appropriate adaptor, the GRENGINE™ batteries can be used to power almost anything currently operating on lead acid. We have plans to extend our GRENGINE™ system to include lawn mowers, water pumps, snow blowers, and so much more. 

Take power where you need it.  The GRENGINE™ is totally silent and fume free, so use it when and where you want to.  Need emergency backup?  Going camping?  Need power for a trade show presentation?  Because it produces no noise and no fumes, the GRENGINE™ is both safe to use indoors and its use will not be restricted on any outdoor adventure.

As seen in:

Meet the GRENGINE™, the little engine that can. Here at Growing Greener Innovations, we look to change the world of portable energy with this silent and emission-free solar generator; the only system in the world capable of replacing the standard gasoline operated generators, which are poisoning the world with millions of tons of Greenhouse Gases and Carbon Monoxide every year.

The GRENGINE’s patent pending system uses stackable and interchangeable batteries to deliver a knockout punch to the gasoline generator. The formula that has made gas generators the long-standing winner in industrial use, has been the ease of topping up fuel, compared with waiting for batteries to recharge.  Until now. With the GRENGINE™ you can switch batteries even easier than refilling a gas tank.

Effective changes are made gradually. Viable and significant improvement takes time, so our mission is to take meaningful steps toward a more sustainable future. We develop and support environmentally conscious technology, with the objective of continually making our planet greener.

The GRENGINE™ is constructed to last more than 2000 cycles.  It is also compartmentalized, allowing us to recycle only the battery when it does see the end of its life, as opposed to trashing the whole unit.  We’ve designed it to be easy to use so that widespread adoption is inevitable; with widespread adoption comes lasting environmental impact.  We can remove millions of tons of greenhouse gases with the GRENGINE™! 

The GRENGINE™ 1000 is perfect to run or charge a variety of tools or toys.  From cellphones to refrigerators and everything in between, the GRENGINE™ will keep you going no matter where you are.

Our interchangeable and stackable battery system has changed the game for portable power solutions. Because you can buy and stack as many batteries as you need, you'll always be powered with GRENGINE™.  Charge your backup battery from a wall outlet or a solar panel while you use your GRENGINE™ or stack them up for more watt hours.  Because it is component based, you can recycle only the battery, as opposed to having to replace the whole unit.  We've designed the system for ease of use; simply clip your battery in and go! 

With the ability to stack as many batteries as you need, the possibilities are virtually endless.  Stock up on battery packs and your run times become unlimited.  

Why GRENGINE™  1000 vs. Solar Generator Competition?

Waaaaait a minute...

Did you notice a John Deere Gator in the video? Did we run that Gator with our Grengine™ batteries? Yup, we did. 

Each Grengine™ battery (which weighs only 12lbs) is the power equivalent of a 12V 100 Amp hour lead acid battery (which typically weighs 85lbs). Which means with the appropriate adaptor, the Grengine™ batteries can be used to power almost anything currently operating on lead acid. We have plans to extend our Grengine™ system to include lawn mowers, water pumps, snow blowers, and so much more.
