Ray, We don't install generators but have installed several (4) systems where the customer has ordered and had installed Generac's Eco-Gen, if that is the model you're referring to. In the past I would NEVER recommend Generac. The gen installer had to install the two wire gen start option and in one case convert the system for 120 output. At least two have been in use for more than a year and a half with no tuneup and no complaints from the client. You know that we are the first to be blamed when the gen goes out of voltage or freq. It must be the fault of the solar system.......One of the clients is on Cat Island in the Bahamas, the others are in Maine. I have been recommending them to clients with smaller load demands/systems these days. While they are not Onan or Kohler, they seem to me to be made especially for off grid solar systems,reasonably priced and until I see problems with them I will continue to recommend them when they fit the bill.
