Completely Serious
Thanks. I don't have natural gas or propane. And California limits the kinds of gasoline generators that we can purchase. Plus, for a unit that sits idle most of the time there are maintenance issues. That's why I'm avoiding gasoline generators. I had several neighbors with portables, Generac, etc. and when it was time to crank them up, they didn't work for some reason (I'm guessing lack of fuel stabilizer, or oil issues, or the 110 degree heat, or ...). For two of them, their solutions were large ground-mount solar racks (but no batteries). The rest do what I do -- off to the movie theater the next town over; or to a hotel when more than 1-day outage.
Based on the comments (above), using 4 units is too problematic. And doing just 1 unit is bad for the diff/axle.
Thanks to all for the advice. Looks like the thing to do is to wait for a simple 400V solution. That big orange connector is awfully tempting
Thanks,
Scott
