[RE-wrenches] Generator brains

[frenergy]

Wrenches,

        We recently discussed the significant load the brains of  many 
gensets requires, especially in off-grid.  I have been trying to keep the 
start battery and brains of a Kohler 14KW gen charged with a ~40 PV.  This 
works fine until the winter.

        Any issues with keeping that PV connected (with its charge 
controller) and re-connecting the supplied-by-Kohler power source connection 
to keep the battery and brains happy?  I would like to think the PV would 
take some of the load off the AC connection to the main off-grid system, 
with no conflicts.

TIA
