the home that we are building will be totally off grid. when we move, we will expand our PV to around 8,650w and our storage will be two fortress eFlex 5.4
while we do plan to expand even further, as time goes on, the above listed system should fully support our home.
I figure something in the 10k range should be appropriate... I think? that said, I am also OK with less than "whole home backup" sized. it would not be often, or long that we would need to rely on the gen, so we could undersize it.
what generators should we be looking at?
it does not need to be portable.
propane is my first thought on fuel, however, dual fuel might not be a bad idea. I prefer propane as an option, because of long term fuel stability.
we are not made of money, but price is not my primary concern. I am looking for reliability and seamless integration with our sol-ark 12k.
