[RE-wrenches] Off-Grid Diesel Generators

[benn kilburn]

Wrenches,
Can anyone in the off-grid market, in colder climate regions (i'm at latitude 53) suggest or recommend a reliable diesel generator for off-gird home back-up.  It will likely be coupled with two Outback VFX3648's and a 1500 to 2500 amp/hr battery.  Any experiences with pairing Lister generators with an auto-start set up?  Northern Lights Generators has also come highly recommended, any experiences?
Also, for this colder region, i'm looking for pros/cons of having the back-up gen installed indoors (garage or shop) as opposed to outdoors; to protect it somewhat from the extreme cold weather so it will have less trouble starting when it is needed.
Thanks in advance.benn
