Welcome to the Belleghuan web site. By following the links you will discover the wonders of reliable off-grid and back-up power solutions, using old technology that is virtually indestructible and requires little maintenance. These systems are ideal for those considering building on a site not served by Hydro, for back up and for those few brave souls who feel that getting "off-grid" is for them.

Who we are

Belleghuan Ltd is a small two person company that provides a unique line of off-grid and back-up power solutions. We specialize in Lister and Changfa engines along with heavy-duty generator heads. We source our products in India and China and take every care to ensure the items we select are of the best quality. We have associates in the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. Due to large volume purchases we have been able to enter into exclusive contracts with our suppliers and to ensure that they provide the best quality products to the market and maintain strict quality control standards.

Belleghuan is located on a farm property in rural Eastern Ontario approximately 35 miles East of Canada's capital, Ottawa. As of July 26th, 2006 we are fully off-grid. It has taken a bit longer than I anticipated, but as usual, other people's needs came before ours and my personal project was delayed. This is a big step to take but if you feel the need to be truly independent, it is something to consider. One of our customers, using a very similar set-up, has been off-grid now since April 2005 and the telling comment from his wife is that she does not notice the difference!

We run two 6/1 engines, in the spring, summer and fall using them on alternate days for 15-16 hours day. At night we drop back to 3000 amp hour Surette batteries and a pair of Xantrex 12/2400 inverters. During the winter a 6/1 is run overnight at a slower speed (about 620 rpm) to provide the power needed to run the various pumps and blowers that keep heat circulating through the 6 buildings we heat. During the day the second 6/1 runs at 650-670 rpm, providing plenty of power to keep the house going. For larger needs when the metal or woodworking shops are in use I also have a 10/1 Listeroid and an AG295 engine mated to suitable genheads.
