That 9KW Aurora generator is almost exactly the same unit I provided to a customer of mine here, built in China to my specs. The customer is using is as a sole power source for a restaurant, running it at about 100% to 110% load 18 hours a day for two years now without issue. The Perkins engine is a lovely unit.
