I need a 6-8kW standby backup power, combined set of "generator and inverter" 230VAC - 24VDC for a 15m plastic fishing boat so this has to be robust and compact. Mastervolt is producing what I need see http://mastervolt-solar.com/whispergenset/index.asp but there must be someone out there competing with them with quality and price. This has to be water (or sea) cooled unit with auto start and auto stop.
