[RE-wrenches] Propane Generator

[Dana]

We use both ONAN & KOHLER. Last time I checked ONAN's smallest was 20KW/240
VAC. KOHLER had more smaller units. The lack of choice is due to EPA
compliance and then I think the economy, but not sure on the latter.
If it does not get too cold or could be installed indoors [as in a shed]
diesel gets more watts / gallon but LPG is cleaner to deal with.

I use a military surplus 15 kW gasoline genset, converted to propane, and
wired to an ATS for emergency backup power.  I am grid connected, no
batteries.  It works fine and runs my entire house when I need it.  If you
want more details, please give me a call.

A client with a remote off-grid system and two OutBack FXs is looking 
for the right generator to buy.

He prefers propane because they already have it on site.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Ian
