Diciamo che non ero del tutto a digiuno sull'argomento, ma volevo richiamare i concetti che mi servivano per un dimensionamento.Questo libretto ha svolto egregiamente la sua funzione.Preciso e completo quanto basta.Lo consiglio a chi vuole farsi una idea per muoversi in questo mondo.

EXCELLENT guide! Lots of details. Written for the layman. "Professionals" at Generac insisted that I needed a 22 kW system that would cost over $10,000. After doing the calculations from this guide (including the load balancing test) I have a 8750 kW system running off natural gas that powers only what I need to run (including my 4 ton AC) for a total cost of $1200.UPDATE 8/2017: Hurricane Irma knocked my lights out for 4 days. Hooked up my Westinghouse 8K pro to my house and was able to power anything I wanted (you do have to choose priorities AC OR Stove, not both). Was able to sit in my AC'd home watching TV and surfing internet. Natural gas meant no refueling. FYI, 8K pro has <5% Harmonic distortion making it safe for computers and electronics.

Good basic information for homeowners
