Hi all for what it is worth, I have heard of strange things with the northern
lights and other inverters. ( think it was about switching spikes when working
with inverters) This seems to be special with the northern lights generator.

Benn,
The only thing I have heard about NL generators was about 5
years ago there were some issues with a generator in Alaska that used a
capacitive
coupled regulator that didn’t like the way Outback loaded it down when
charging batteries. The only thing that helped was the addition of
a $600 dollar tank circuit that helped but didn’t really fix the problem.
The customer ended replacing the Regulator with an electronic
control that finally fixed the issue.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Off-Grid Diesel Generators
Wrenches,
Can
anyone in the off-grid market, in colder climate regions (i'm at latitude 53)
suggest or recommend a reliable diesel generator for off-gird home back-up.
It will likely be coupled with two Outback VFX3648's and a 1500
to 2500 amp/hr battery.
Any
experiences with pairing Lister generators with an auto-start set up?
Northern
Lights Generators has also come highly recommended, any experiences?
Also,
for this colder region, i'm looking for pros/cons of having the back-up gen
installed indoors (garage or shop) as opposed to outdoors; to protect it
somewhat from the extreme cold weather so it will have less trouble starting
when it is needed.
Thanks
in advance.
