That's too bad the previous installer seemed to perhaps be thinking in the right way originally but just was wrongly implemented. Perhaps treat it like we used to with powerful hydro systems and add a couple 48v dump loads if the unit's voltage control mechanisms can't be figured out? In the past I sometimes had difficulties obtaining Kohler manuals but did come across this one.
