That being said, do you guys think something in the 15kw range would be sufficient? Where do I shop? Honeywell at Costco? Home Depot?
Permanent or portable? We're designing solar/generator/battery combinations which also supply hot water. Battery allows the Gen to operate at full load (most efficient zone) and allows quiet hours overnight.

Pm me or email me for details.
