I have researched those in the past and I do like the LP/NG models. Sure beats having to store gas or diesel.
I am building a whole home UPS… which provides me more day to day value than just emergency power.
The system also prevents me from having to actually run the generator constantly just to keep lights on. I can run off-battery and run the generator to either support larger loads, or charge at a faster rate and then shutdown.
You don’t need solar to make this work, but I am adding some panels to assist. My generator is a 2000 watt Yamaha Inverter model which had a tri-fuel kit so I can run off propane.
It’s designed around the Victron Quatro inverter, so it accepts two AC units, and two AC outputs, and a DC battery bank.
