Selecting an inverter/battery system [RE-wrenches]

I imagine it would be tough to be everything to everybody.

I have had over 3 years of absolutely flawless generator interaction using
Outback equipment.

However, I am starting a 40kW Kohler V6 running on propane, so my experience
may not be typical.

Outback has most of this except for "Flawless generator interaction",
which is a pretty big issue for most of us and our customers. I am sad
they continue to stonewall everyone on this issue. It'd be nice if it
was addressed and resolved. I have lost alot of respect for the company
over the way they have (not) dealt with this.
