I really should get a generator. We lose power, on average, once a week to once every week and half. Sometimes for 5 minutes, once for over 24 hours.
That is just in 2 years. Tried to speak with the power company, it’s a co-op and they really don’t care.
No natural gas available. I’ve decided on propane simply for ease of storage. I can bury a 500 gallon tank, fill and be done.
I have a 10kW solar panel array with a 16 kWh battery back up. The battery can power everything except the high draw appliances. The biggest issue is the battery can not start the AC. It can keep it going, but can not start it.
We are building onto our house. We have 900 square feet and will add another 3000 square feet. Long story.
Ok. The question.
I would like the highest quality propane generator, but I don’t need that much raw power generation.
I’ve heard rumors that to get a quality generator, I really need to look at the 22kW units.
I do not mind spending the money. I would like to buy quality and have it sized appropriately.
Any other options?
I could get another battery for $10k, and I am considering it.
I also could just get the 22kW generator and be done with it.
It’s all new so I have options. Space ain’t a concern.
