Mike,
We had an outbuilding fire at our off grid home about a month ago that took out our unit. It had about 85 hours on it and had performed without fail. We have ordered another as replacement. I'm satisfied with it.

We live at 6,700'. It will power our Magnum MS4024 at full output (115A @29V) while running a 900W WVO heating element and the toaster (the Magnum will pass-through more than is needed to charge if programmed to do so) without lugging, so I think its output is underrated.

It comes wired straight 120V output, so well suited to your SW4024. If your upgrade includes an inverter replacement, you may wish to order and set aside the 240V upgrade kit, so that you have it if your replacement inverter works with 120/240 input. With only 660 Ah of battery capacity, the EcoGen/SW4024 combination will have to be dialed way back to keep your C/rate within the limits of what the batteries can handle. I assume that you mean T105s.

Allan,

In this Ask the Experts article you mentioned that you have recently installed the Generac 6 kW EcoGen generator.  This is now June and I was wondering how it is performing and whether you still are impressed. 

I am outgrowing my system 700 watts of panels, 12 Trojan T106s, Trace 4024 inverter, and Outback charge controller.   I dont have a generator big enough to overcharge the batteries and was thinking this one might be the choice.  We are at 8000 feet, near Pinedale, Wyoming.  Plenty of sunshine but not as much as NM.

Thanks

Mike Roberson
