backup generator specs... [RE-wrenches]

[Jim Duncan]

A customer, building a small 1kW PV off-grid weekend home, insists that 
he can get a better deal on a backup generator than I and insists that I 
won't get to make that choice. So wanting to at least have some 
oversight in what he buys, told him I would forward some technical info 
to him since all generators are not created equally inverter friendly. 
Where can I find a list of specs, on the www, relating to the do's and 
dont's of generator selection? Combing thru the archives of the Wrenches 
site was really slow and cumbersome and only turned up specific genset 
related issues. 
Come to think of it, I could use an update on the subject with so many 
different brands currently on the market and the fact that I rarely do 
off-grid installs. 

Thanks as always
