Going from a 7.5 to a 15 kW is not physically that much larger.
How about in the tree strip behind your building?
Or sacrifice a parking space.

If your HVAC is 240 then you have more HVAC load than that generator can pull
on just that one load.
40 amps x 240 Volts is 9600 Watts.

I'm asking out of curiosity. My house is gas heat, so it's on a 15 amp
