This makes no sense...
As mentioned, the Kubota 10kw diesel generator is rated to serve a 100 amp transfer switch. Some posters here have said to go small and do load shedding. OK for some. But I'm retired and my wife has health issues. My 16kw Generac is on a four foot platform. We are not lugging around 5 gallon cans of diesel fuel, nor do I want a diesel storage tank near my water well in the event of a spill. It's hot and humid here in the summer. We have three heat pumps and four HVAC zones, and the house has 400 amp service, so why would I settle for 100 amp capacity? I don't consider a larger generator to be a luxury. At my age and living in hurricane country for 16 years, I consider it a necessity. I know I won't recoup the cost, but it is a selling feature when it comes time to move.
