I have a 5kW genny connected through the gen/aux port and it works well. I've set it to charge the battery with 1kW and provide the loads with 1kW. If I go much higher than about 3kW total from the gen, the gen starts taking strain. I only use the gen in absolutely dire situations, like when the substation blows up after load shedding and have no Eskom power for 2+ days and it's overcast. (It's happened 3 times this year already in Roodepoort <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤦‍♂️" title="🤦‍♂️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f926-2642.png" />) Also, give the frequency band from the gen a bit more headroom on the inverter, from about 47Hz to 53Hz.</p></blockquote><p></p>
