I would trigger genset on Soc. Is that what you are doing?

Hi folks:
We have a situation where the Sol-Ark 12kW Inverter isn't able to
adequately manage the loads and perform auto-gen start other than low
battery level. And despite thorough understanding of the customer's
initial loads, after he's bought the system, he's continued to add more
and more loads - a severe case of load creep.
He's got a 38KW generator and we're looking for the components to make
the generator _load responsive_ instead of just kicking on when the
battery voltage is low. Are there any ideas on switching equipment
that can do this and work with the Sol-Ark? We're waiting for a reply
from Sol-Ark, but thought you folks may have some ideas.
The original design was for a larger solar system and inverter, but the
customer balked at the cost and said he'd reduce his loads accordingly.
Unfortunately, that has not happened! Now we're trying to bend the
laws of physics and have his 38KW generator make up the difference. We
need to come up with a means of accommodating the compromised design
and now are faced with additional loads -- along with a significantly
reduced solar array. Is there a way to make this (2 wire start)
generator more load responsive?
Thanks for any and all advice!
