generator to use with Trace DR2424 [RE-wrenches]

Windy,

I design and install off grid systems in Mexico. We integrate wind 
generators, PV and propane generators and automate the system with the 
Outback Mate. The generator I use is a Generac QT020, 20 kW, 3600 rpm, 4 
cylinder liquid cooled. I have some customers with rental units and the 
generator runs 6~8 hours daily. (Beware: renters are extreme wasters of 
resources no mater what!) It has been very reliable so far.

Some of my customer have bought their own low cost (cheap) generators. The 
higher end of these is the Guardian 2 cylinder, air cooled units. They need 
frequent servicing so I would avoid that type. A 20kW generator may seem big 
for a 2400VA inverter/charger but I opt for longevity and reliability for 
remote locations and especially for rental units.

Wrenches

I'm advising an old customer who needs to add a backup generator to
cover loads added by a renter. Intending to use the DR2424 for backup
charging, can anyone recommend a relatively inexpensive generator,
likely to be locally available, that seems to provide the peak
voltage that the DR needs for good performance?

Thanks
