A boat owner retrofitted with high-output alternators and solar reports his generator has become redundant — and wants to sell it.0:26 The 24-volt house bank is charged by two 185-amp-hour high-output alternators fitted with Zeus smart regulators, producing roughly 8,400 watts combined through the engines, plus up to 3,300 watts from solar.0:34 After a cloudy day that included an hour and a half of motoring to Dunedin and running an induction cooktop and a Breville air fryer, the batteries sat at 95% at anchor.1:38 The generator — a 6K unit with only 20 hours on it — has not been needed since the system was completed.1:00 The owner says he would never have bought it had he known how capable the alternator-and-solar combination would be.0:09 The practical takeaway: on a well-sized alternator-plus-solar system, a generator can become dead weight before it accumulates meaningful hours.
