[QUOTE="CA48, post: 2756008, member: 21446"] My family has added in some generator setups after dealing with the outages the last few years. They are propane/natural gas, start theirselves once a week and run for 15min to keep things reliable. And I believe when the power goes out they come on automatically. It was 10-20k for the gen and installation with tank, my uncle went with a bigger gen so it was more. Natural gas can be stored in large quantities for a long time. Although they own a fuel company so I was surprised they didn’t go with diesel. I think theirs are Kohlers’s but I have used a lot of Genrac generators in the oil field from 5kva to 500kva they are a good brand. We even use up to 80,000hp turbine generators at work but they aren’t genracs. Solar and wind are probably good options to if you have enough to power the whole house. I just wonder what the price difference is between all options per kWh. And the initial cost to instal wind/solar systems that would be of equal output to a 20kva generator. [/QUOTE]
