   Thanks for the detailed reply, I'm in no way educated in the workings of   
   these, but rely on kind folks like you on the web sharing their experience and   
   knowledge to inform me, then I makes my choice. I do have a larger petrol open   
   frame chinese type    
   generator, it works but not so refined. At least I'm not stuck when the power   
   does go off, and it drives everything freezers, oil burner, pumps and lights   
   etc However the inverter one caught my eye but never managed to get one and   
   the much higher prices    
   quoted for the red ones leave a bad taste for something that is going to sit   
   for months on end!    
   Changing the subject slightly, I was considering a Li-ion battery bank and   
   900W solar but having contacted 4 Companies not one was interested! and   
   because its rather a lot of money I wasn't convinced I knew enough to DIY. I   
   do have the generator    
   changeover switch so a battery bank may well work with the generator plus add   
   solar at anytime. Run the generator to charge up the batteries and run quietly   
   in the evenings.
