Destrier and PSM:
Very nice set ups, gents.
Concur with PSM, better to do your big loads (or charging) with the occasional generator run and use the batteries for the heat circ, fans, lights, etc. The refrigerators and freezers will probably be fine with an hour or two twice a day, if you fill the excess freezer space with nearly full water jugs.
Obviously, solar is a lot easier and more practical in AZ than in NY, and vice versa with the gassifier.
Heckuva battery bank there, PSM. What is your system, if I might ask, and what is the life span of those batteries?
Thanks!
TR
