The 14RCA generator is suitable for most off-grid homes and cabins and is typically paired with an inverter/charger ranging from 4kW up to 10kW in size. This generator package is the ideal solution for adding a generator to one of our off-grid systems.
This package does not include a transfer switch because most off-grid systems use an inverter/charger with a built-in transfer switch for the generator input.
This Generator runs on Propane or Natural gas and will require a pad to sit on and a gas line plumbed to it by the gas company. A power line will then need to be run from the generator to the home servic panel in the house. It will automatically turn on if auxillary power is needed.
