We have been wanting another genset -but get turned down-even having the generator from the closed site sent to our site-the powers to be don't want to do that.Even got offers from the Army Corps of Engineers to install a gas turbine generator-5Mw- but it got turned down.The generator was free except for delivory and installation and we would also pay for fuel.Could choose from natural gas or diesel to run it.The combusters on the turbine are made for the fuel you want to use.Cannot be changed in the field.Engine has to go to a rebuild shop.So we have to "baby" the generator we have.

Solar panels and storms
Reply number 51
You do not remove solar panels when a storm is coming from your roof it’s not like taking in the patio furniture.
These panels are designed to withstand severe storms, I even walk on my solar panels although I don’t know if they recommend it or not lol.
It takes multiple people to install the panels they’re heavy it would be very dangerous to even consider removing them.

Walking on Solar panels, etc.
<span style="font-family: helvetica;">I had a chat with the installers on this subject. He said they are built to withstand 1XX MPH (can't remember the exact number but it was high) winds, hail up to I think 2 inches and they can be walked on. </span>
<span style="font-family: helvetica;">We are lucky to have a roof large enough to accommodate our 27 panels in one large array like a big square. They had to walk on them to do the install and will have to walk on them to service as needed. I asked if they would remove some to get to others and he said no they are strong enough to be walked on. They are large and heavy and won't be removed in advance of a storm.</span>
