We just installed a 12RES Kohler. It is a 3600 RPM unit and has a Kohler
engine. $3275 includes the Kohler technician startup which is required for
the 2000 hr/ 2 year warranty.
My application is a part time off grid residence which I expect to be
several 100 hrs or less per year run time. It comes with a battery, 2 wire
start and a very nice enclosure (super quiet). I maxed out the SW4024 Dual
inverter charge rate and turned on another 3000-5000 watts of loads. With
all that on it didn't even grunt when the 3/4 hp well pump started.
I believe the Generacs require their transfer switch to run as all of the
electronics for the generator are built into it. That might present a
serious problem if you are using it for an off grid application.

Thanks to you too Frank,
I appreciate the info on Coleman, however I need to stay with an 1800 RPM
unit for a number of reasons. I also like to stay with liquid cooled sets
now that Deutz can't sell their air cooled Diesel engines in California.
Too bad that Generac is still to be avoided.

Matt,
No experience with that peticular Generac model, but from my dealings with
my son who owns a small engine repair shop, any Generac genset is suspect.
I
have lots of experience with the Coleman line, model (PM400911). My son
has
sold many of these to my customers with very litlle problems. They are
Honda
powered, and connect to inverters very well. The PM400911 is only 9.5 kw,
and is propane/Nat. gas. If you are interested, go to;
www.colemanpowermate.com.
SUNcerely,

Off-grid cohorts,
Has anybody had experience with the (gulp) Generac Elite Home Standby 15
kW
vapor fuel 1800 RPM units? From the technical info they would seem to be a
pretty good candidate to replace the sorely missed Kohler 12 RY liquid
cooled unit.
They even appear to use the same little Ford industrial 4 cylinder engine
as
the Kohler. The Elite model comes without the un-needed grid-sensing
transfer switch.
Very interesting but I really need some actual info on these things.
Thanks in advance,
Matt T
