Why not install a DC coupled 8KW Outback Radian and solve all your problems. USe any 240V generator, although finding a 2 wire start gasoline unit may be hard. I would use a Nexus controller generac propane generator with propane tank, all mounted on the container. I would never design anything to use gasoline, it's too dangerous.</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Fri, Jun 16, 2017 at 7:19 AM, Matthew Sirum <<a href="mailto:matthewsirum@gmail.com" target="_blank">matthewsirum@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</p><blockquote style="border-width: medium medium medium 1pt; border-style: none none none solid; border-color: currentColor currentColor currentColor rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 0in 0in 0in 6pt; border-image: none; margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 4.8pt;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Greetings August,<br><br>Great thoughts and comments from Brian!
