I think the idea is that with 240v wiring you can use a smaller gauge wire over a longer distance with less power loss as I plan to use it to charge solar batteries or send power to the house directly

If no 240v appliances to power, 120/240v not needed.

This is actually much simpler that is being admitted here. If you go to https://onan.xmsi.net/965-0120%20Ona...0(02-1976).pdf and download the manual, the instructions are there to describe how to strap the output for either 120-120 or 240 VAC.
It is not that hard.

Good to know if things ever get desperate and someone needs to pump water from a deep well.

Thanks. That does indeed look fairly simple.
And a better manual than the one I found.

Cheers.
