Dave,

I have sold 8 Eco-Gens so far and first impressions are great. Iwasn't aware of the govt funded research but it makes sense. I haveone installed on top of Herrick Mtn doing an average of 4 hours a daybacking up a transmitter site. This winter will be the test. So farwe have almost 500 hours on it (first oil change coming up) and noproblems. This is a remote site with only snowmobile access inwinter. The gen is doing great on fuel economy. About .7 gph at 2300watt load.

    Ditto Chris's comment. The EcoGen was designed by Generac with
    research funded by the Propane Council from the ground-up as an
    off-grid propane-only generator used to charge batteries.

        Generac Ecogen is your best choice. It was specifically
        designed for the long runs associated with charing batteries
        for off-grid work.

        Wrenchsters,

        Looking for a good quality, long lasting, LP gas genset for my
        off grid rental house. 6 to 8kW. Full power at 120Vac would be
        nice. In the past some have recommended a Coleman off grid
        model as I remember. I'm also wondering how the smaller
        Kohlers, and the like, have been holding up for off grid use
        over the past few years.

        This for northern Vermont where even with C/8 PV to battery
        charge rate we need to run the generator about 250 hours per
        year as the cloud cover is dense for weeks at a time.

        Thanks,

        Dave Palumbo
