The loads are mostly 120 volt but there is a 240 volt heat pump that might occasionally run. We’re AC coupling the Sunny Island with a Sunny Boy PV inverter. So, we’ll be installing a Outback PSX-240 autoformer to bump the Sunny Island’s output from 120 to 240 volt. </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">We need to select a generator for backup. We need a two-wire electric start (in order to be controlled by the Sunny Island) and preferably a generator that is okay just running 120 volt loads since the Sunny Islands input is only 120 volt. Something in the 3 kVA -7 kVA range should be fine. </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have experience or ideas about what kind of two-wire start generator we might select?</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">August</p><p class="MsoNormal">Luminalt</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div></body></html>
