You can buy an inverter which does in fact produce a good sine wave. Actually, if you look at the Onan waveform, it gets up around 5 - 10% distortion when it's heavily loaded. Be sitting down when you see what such an inverter is going to cost you. If it's producing a true sine wave, not something assembled fro a bunch of steps, it doesn't matter what speed the power supply switches. The estimate price of Peer's propane conversion to German spec might buy one.
I have an old UPS which came out of a transmitter plane when we upgraded to run the whole place sans utility power. This thing kept some of the computers alive until the genset took load and restarted the transmitters. I put a 35KVA 3 phase UPS in place with about 6 - 7 minutes of batteries which was more than enough to start the genset. It actually made a better waveform that Ga Power at the location. I run the little one off the house batteries if I need 5 minutes of A/C for something. One outlet, suitable for my soldering gun or iron or the like.
