   I used to use the 6kw ecogen but it has been disco'd and I can't
   justify the 15 kw. Checking out the HD Kohler 8kw and Onan QG3600.

   Thanks!

   Bruce

   Maybe the Home Depot 8 kW Kohler would meet the ticket. It has 2 wire
   start, propane version, can be configured for 120 volt OR 120-240 volt
   output, has an optional "carb heater" run synthetic oil for cold
   weather
   starting. It is not rated Prime power, but for an off grid customer,
   with
   solar and batteries Prime power is not a consideration. It has a 12
   volt
   battery, that can be charged from a 24 to 12 converter or a 48 to 12 if
   one
   can be found. I set the 12 volt float voltage at 13.6 and the batteries
   seem to last for years. charging the battery supplies control and
   monitoring function.
