Can any type of transfer switch be used on this Generac?
Stan 
from Ohio 
February 23, 2017
Answer
Due to the control wiring and communication between the generator and transfer switch this unit will only work with a Generac branded transfer switch.

Could this be used to charge a battery bank for going off-grid?
Pete S. 
from Maine 
January 31, 2017
Answer
This particular unit requires utility power to be present and due to the control wiring it cannot be used off-grid. If you have a battery bank or off-grid application that has an alternative energy source, then I would recommend the Generac EcoGen 7034 unit which is made specifically for this application. Another option for off-grid would be the Kohler 14RESA, but am unsure how it would be wired. Kohler approves this unit for off-grid but has an 18-month warranty and NOT the standard 5 year.

Can aluminum wire be used to feed the breaker on a Generac generator?
Glenn 
from New Jersey 
December 11, 2014
Answer
Thanks for your inquiry.

When wiring the generator it must be in accordance with local jurisdiction and codes. If ALUMINUM conductors are used, apply corrosion inhibitor to conductors.
