Hi Wrenches, I've been looking for a distributor for the Generac Ecogen. The ones I contacted are about $300 higher than paying retail at Lowes. Is there a supplier that sells wholesale or discounts to dealers? Off list answer is fine. Thank you, Larry Crutcher la...@starlightsolar.com On

I personally like AND use the ONAN (CMM) commercial mobil units. Can be configured 120 VAC @50 A. Fiberglass enclosure, QUITE 2800 RPM. Unlike the eco gen you DO have to mount on a stand as the intake & exhaust is from the bottom. Using an OB inverter I use the Atikson start module. I use a rel

John, If I understand correctly what was explained to me by Generac, the research wasn't government-funded. The Propane Education and Research Council is an industry trade group. I was curious, though, so checked into it on its website: "PERC was authorized

Dave, I have sold 8 Eco-Gens so far and first impressions are great. I wasn't aware of the govt funded research but it makes sense. I have one installed on top of Herrick Mtn doing an average of 4 hours a day backing up a transmitter site. This winter will be the test. So far we have alm

Generac Ecogen is your best choice. It was specifically designed for the long runs associated with charing batteries for off-grid work. On Sat, Sep 14, 2013 at 11:58 AM, Dave Palumbo wrote: > Wrenchsters, > > ** ** > > Looking for a good quality, long lasting, LP gas genset for my off grid

Wrenchsters, Looking for a good quality, long lasting, LP gas genset for my off grid rental house. 6 to 8kW. 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
