Has or 'is' anyone running an alternator large enough to power 1 roof top air conditioner-- rather than using the fuel guzzling diesel generator?  there are some 275 amp Alternators, (large case) models with I think... the ability for external regulators that might do the job.

I did run across an installation of a high output alternator to run roof airs way back when.  They had two on the motor if I remember.  Gen's were not as efficient as now.  Propane onan used a gallon an hour.  3500 or 5k watts is a memory.
