Hi, David,


How long does this system have to back up for?  Minutes, hours, days?

If its minutes, then yep a industrial sealed battery ( absolite 2P)  
the way to go.

If its a few hours same.

If you ever need this to run for more than some hours, then you'll  
need the genny.  For example, when the power does go out
usually its from storms, hence no solar, no battery recharge, and  
then you''ll need the genny to power this anyway.

I don't recommend bio, straight oil or even diesel for such a standby  
by unit.  All of this fuels don't like to sit for months let alone  
years.
A propane unit with storage tank gives the best backup.  ( even if  
you have natural gas, if the power goes out, so can the power for the  
gas)

On a side note, I understand the dislike of gennys, but in this case,  
its actually much more environmentally friendly to go with only a  
small battery to run before the genny
starts than to go with a huge battery.  Assuming the use of backup is  
the normally very rare thing.

peace,

jay
