How many KW generator do I need? | 14 comments (14 topical)

I plan on buying a Metro 20/2 from John Alvin at http://www.power-co.net He has been extremely helpful to me.  The horsepower rating is at 650 RPM.

A 12 KW head rather than a 10 KW will give me a bit more surge capacity even though it may be a bit larger than the 20/2 can run at full capacity.  Correct??

I had considered a Changfa diesel but decided that I could not stand the noise.  The lighter weight would have been very helpful but I don't plan on moving the generator unless absolutely necessary.
