Our local Kohler dealer has taken a liberal interpretation of the warranty
provisions. As long as: the battery-inverter system is robust, we keep the
generator hours at a minimum, purchase a startup checkup with their
technician and verify proper maintenance, the dealer is honoring

Thank you for your very gracious and professional reply. Maybe we can chalk
this one up to over-excited, under-informed marketing people. I guess it’s
common. I appreciate you schooling them and being willing to modify the
message. I am impressed by your candor.

I hate to bring this up again I just talked to ONA, KOHLER another multi

I have gotten the following mix of responses in reference to 1800 RPM/water

Hello William,
I had not seen the video prior to your posting. I totally agree that a one
day install of a complete battery back-up retro-fit is completely
unrealistic. Perhaps 4 to 7 days, depending on the complexity and size of
the retro-fit. Yes, one day might suffice to install and wire just

On a related note to the one-day battery backup install, you may have seen
Solarcity’s description of their battery backup offering. They are keeping
the critical loads and scope very limited:

Hi Chris,
I think this would be a product mainly used in existing grid-tied
retrofits. If there is an existing grid-tied only inverter, you could
route the DC conductors through this transfer switch first giving the
homeowner a grid-tied or off-grid option if the grid was down. You'd still
need
Chris,
My first take on it is that it's been developed for those who
already have batteryless GT systems and now want to add backup
capability. The Tesla Powerwall has generated plenty of buzz, even
though it's still expensive and unavailable, for battery backup.
I'm having trouble understanding the application for this product. I have
the tristar 600V CC in my own home.
If I want to have backup and also export to the grid, the Outback radian
does that without the need to change anything over. WHy would you want to
have the Radian as a backup AND have a
Hi all
I also question this.
Ok so there is a power outage. If I understand correctly it's a manual disco.
So now you have be home and know what to do, and you have to remember to turn
it back the other way.
And it's going to be expensive. Their straight disco one is what $1700?

Chris:
The market Morningstar is going for is the customers with non-battery, grid-tie
only inverters. If you then add the Morningstar product and a whole lot of
other items and a lot of labor, you can have battery backup. If you already
have a complete GTBB system, such as you describe

We've been using ac coupling with Magnum's when adding backup to a grid-tied
system.
The switchover is automatic and fast. With the Magnums, there is need for a
charge controller, but the installation and wiring does take more than a day
(meow).
Why would anyone want a manual transfer switch
