Re: [RE-wrenches] Off Grid LP Gen advice

[Allan Sindelar]

Dave, Coleman discontinued their appropriate models years ago, and Kohler's smaller units will work but are designed more for grid backup. My best recommendation is Generac's 6kW EcoGen unit.

Full power at 120Vac would be nice. In the past some have recommended a Coleman off grid model as I remember. I’m also wondering how the smaller Kohlers, and the like, have been holding up for off grid use over the past few years.   This for northern Vermont where even with C/8 PV to battery charge rate we need to run the generator about 250 hours per year as the cloud cover is dense for weeks at a time.   Thanks,   Dave Palumbo _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
