Depends on power requirement. My whole house uses approx 4 kW to run air con and rest of the house power. 19 x 350 solar panels generates 1 kw to 6.5 kw per hour through a 6 kw inverter.
The variance comes from the sun is not always out, or behind clouds and the panels don't face east and west to capture the morning and evening sun.
They are mono crystal which generate about 1 to 1.6 Kw in cloudy conditions.
As I am on the power grid the excess power is feed back to the power company who pay me 6c per k/w that I feed in during sunny days and then charge me 26c per k/w in peak times when it is dark !
Today I got 40 kw/h generated for the day which with feed in tariff is $2.60 as it was sunny. . I could run the air con on 10 kw/h from the power company in the dark , if the a/c used 2 kw I could run it for 5 hours for free.
Where you run into problem is that on a cloudy day you might get 1 k/w per hour . This is not a problem if you use mains power from a power line supplier as it suppliments any short fall. If you are on a no grid connected system you may need to consider Battery Storage as well to charge up when the sun is out and then it supplements the power to your house when it is cloudy or dark.
The solar panels would need to generate enough power to run the house and to charge up the battery system if used.
Batteries have a limited life of 10 years and usually use lithium Phosphate batteries . You tube has many videos on battery systems and off grid solar setups. However batteries are a changing technology with Electric Vehicles becoming more common.
Turns out it was the Manual-off-Auto switch that was bad. My DVM showed a voltage drop across the switch. The controller wasn't getting enough power.
One good thing about it was it forced me to really study the schematics to understand how everything worked. I'm now in the process of designing my own esp32 based controller, with wifi connectivity, to replace the stock control board.
Mount the transformer on the generator. Hard wire it into a 120 vac plug. Run wires to the module and connect to the coil on the relay. Now run the load you want to disconnect while the generator is running to the load terminals of the relay in the module.
Hi
If the starter battery is not taking a charge, then it may have failed and require replacement. It is not uncommon for a battery that sits on standby for long periods of time to eventual fail. Best approach is to contact Kohler direct or one of their service agencies to get the correct replacement battery for the generator system.

si tiene transfer automatico solo poner un swicht en hilo 1N para cortar senal de entrada al generador del utility power que sensa la presencia de voltage en caso de falta arranca el generador en forma de prueba
