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

[Gary Willett]

Ditto Chris's comment. The EcoGen was designed by Generac with research funded by the Propane Council from the ground-up as an off-grid propane-only generator used to charge batteries.

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 -- Chris Mason President, Comet Systems Ltd www.cometenergysystems.com Cell: 264.235.5670 Skype: netconcepts _______________________________________________ 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
