That seems awfully expensive for a generator… our 22kw generac was ~5k … I guess we spent about 1k digging trenches and laying conduit…

But that was it … installation is nothing more than installing a 100amp breaker in your panel … and the $30 lockout tab.

I'm relying on this blog post[0] that was originally posted to r/homelab, which stated $20K for purchase and installation of a 27 kW Generac.

While I am comfortable running new branch circuits and panels to code, I suspect most people are not.
