Kohler full-output at 120 volts? [RE-wrenches]

Hi Wrenches,

Allan at Positive E wrote "All Kohlers thru 12 or 20kW or so can be wired
120 VAC output, so you don't have to match a pair of inverter/charger loads
on each leg of 240 VAC output..."

How this is done?

I do mostly stand-alone systems, and haven't messed with generators much.
I'm working with a client now, though, who's going to be using his Kohler
propane generator (around 7kW) with a SW5548, 16 L-16's, running a Grundfos
Model 10 SQ sub pump (9-10gpm measured at 425', "efficient," soft-start) and
general household loads. He'll be generator-charging until we add a couple
KW of solar in the future (when the $ tree grows up!).

If there's a way to get (balanced) full-output from the Kohler without a
T/240 I'd love to know how ASAP. Thank You!
