I've been looking through this forum and I haven't found a thing on this topic. I'm fat, dumb, and stupid when it comes to all of the ins and outs of solar power, but the one thing that I'm sure of is that if I don't plan for the worst case scenario it is guaranteed to happen. I'm building a 4.4 kw system with AGM battery back up. I had to go AGM due to the uber high cost of the good lithium batteries. I am putting this all together at my "retirement home" which sits at 9400 feet on the western flank of Pikes Peak here in Colorado. With almost 6 hours of sunshine per day, I shouldn't ever have a need for a standby generator (or so I think). Still though, having one would give me a good deal of peace of mind.
Due to the high altitude of my future home, most generators lose a substantial amount of power production (or so I have been told by some pretty knowledgeable peeps). I'm really into overkill, but there are limits to my wallet, so I'm trying to be practical. I've been looking at Generac's in the 10 Kw range, but I don't want to limit myself to one brand. So, the question is, what generator currently on the market would you all recommend?
