<<Interesting, but rather limited in power for us
trawler types. They claim 18
kilowatt-hours per 24 hour period maximum, which is
another way of saying it's a
750 watt generator.>>

Yes, but if it's nearly silent, you can plan on using
it 24 hrs/day. That's like a 7500 watt genset that
you run 2.4 hrs/day. And battery acceptance rate goes
away as a problem, since the charge rate is relatively
low. Use a large inverter for peak loads, and you
have a neat power package.
