I should have been a bit more clear about my application. I'm not worried about battery charging rates or load percentage on the generator. I've already determined that this size generator will normally run at a good efficiency level. I am more concerned with the quality, longevity, and enclosure.

I'm looking for experiences/recommendations for a 15-20kW propane generator. It would be going in an off-grid system with dual Outback 3600W inverter/chargers. The excess capacity would power larger loads than the inverters can handle. Fuel economy and harsh environment performance are the top prio
