<DIV><FONT size=2> Have used both SMA and OutBack inverters
for this application. One challenge with the smaller generators is getting a
true 60 hertz, they fluctuate. The Sunny Boy can be programmed to operate
at a lower hertz range if SMA will share the "secret code ". Recently did a
Outback system and the customer had a Propane fired Briggs and Stratton gen
set, two wire start, works great. I understand why you want to use the
matching SMA's.</FONT></DIV>

for Sunny Island</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Hi Wrenches, especially those of you who work on off-grid
projects,</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>We have an upcoming off-grid project where we will be
powering a storage container with electronics in it. 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>
