we haven't had a good generator thread in at least five weeks. So go Kohler and don't look back.
Missed the point - I like Kohlers, but this is not really a "generator" thread. We are looking for the best overall setup for our places.
Some of the posts have been VERY helpful - thanks to those who asked for further data, raised questions and suggested alternatives.
Pump is rated at 5hp - going to take a meter over there to measure amps at startup. Guessing somewhere around 40, but need to know.
Propane tank outside within 25 ft. of Gen and Gen housed inside well house
Solar power very doable if feasible for any aspect of system
No heat in well house - only other draw is pressure tank setup, light fixture and 120v outlet.
Interesting and maybe excellent suggestions have been: Idle capacity for generator (thoughts?)
4000W 12V Inverter Charger,Peak 12000W ,240Vac Input, 120V/240Vac Output Split Phase,Low Frequency,Pure Sine Wave Inverter, LCD Remote Controller (Please see post by Stammster - thoughts?)
Manual Generator Interlock kit as simple, effective, less expensive than auto transfer switch (thoughts?)
All thoughtful and helpful replies are appreciated
