Generator Subsystem

The centerpiece for the first incarnation of our power plant is a Multiquip 45KVA diesel generator, mounted on a trailer so it can be easily moved as needed. This would be a monster of a generator for a home power system, but we're not running a home. This is a small ranch with a software development firm located on site. We can't afford to have our computers down more than a minimal amount, so we've purchased a generator we believe will be reliable for a decade or more.

Click on the generator picture to go to a web site with specifications for the unit. So far, we're quite happy with the unit.

We've purchased a 1000 gallon double-walled diesel tank for fuel storage as well. This diesel fuel is used to power our tractor as well as running the generator.
