Almost every conversation about generator sizing starts with two numbers: kVA and kW. They sound similar, they're closely related, and they're almost always mis-used. The beer-glass analogy below is the fastest way to get them straight in your head — and once you do, every spec sheet in the catalogue suddenly makes sense.
A generator is really three machines bolted together: an engine, an alternator, and a controller. They each do one job, and they all have to talk to each other for the unit to behave properly.
Almost every customer who asks us 'should I get diesel or petrol?' gets the same answer: it depends on the duty. For occasional camp / weekend use under 8 kVA, petrol is cheaper to buy and lighter to move. For anything that has to start reliably after sitting unused — backup, standby, prime-power — diesel wins, almost always.
