Theses are capacitor excited generators - so I would consider them to be mid-grade quality - not equivalent to an inverter type generator.
We have seen good compatibility with capacitor excited generators in off-grid applications - but I would not expect it to work with the OutBack grid-tie units.

I'm not familiar with the Diahatsu / Vanguard engine, but the Honda is a known, reliable engine. Would you put these units in the category of Honda, rather than Generac?
