I hear ya. DC generation saves me about 30%, so that adds up quickly. I just like generators. Its my one fetish. Ask my wife...Yeah I hear you, but not being made of money, I'll take the hit on the efficiency losses on an 11kW generator for 40% of the cost of the DC 6kW. That's a lot of extra cheddar for significantly less power, even accounting for the efficiency losses. Having said that, the efficiency would certainly make your fuel go further, eh?
