I've been living off-grid for about 10 years with PV and microhydro systems, a small battery bank, and a generator. While I very rarely need to use the generator, I can't do away with it completely. It's getting old now and the manufacturer no longer supports it, so I'm wondering what other generators might currently be available. A 2 to 4 kW generator will be adequate. It needs to run on propane, have a remote two-wire battery start feature with no external power input required (other than an onboard starting battery), and a weatherproof enclosure. Any suggestions?
