Canadian operations used to be run by one person. After running into debt and unable to pay suppliers they switched to cheaper products to increase sales. Buffalo warehouse and office shut down. Leading generator manufactures no longer deal with this company after debt issues and poor relations.

The current supply is limited and assembled by smaller relatively unknown assembly plants in China. Many dealers and liquidators once supplied by them left causing them to sell their own branded products on their own on eBay for very little.

Owners of their products report poor quality, little support and impossible to get spare parts for repair.

Some 30,000 generators have been recalled by the CSA and the manufacture due to uncertified circuit protectors, circuit breakers, receptacles and wiring and do not meet the applicable standards.

Currently there is no CSA electrical approval on the transfer switch and generator. Due to the safety warnings and quality concerns with this brand we have declined to test it or support it.

Elim also operates under the name SUNPOWER.
