You own your generator, but do you really own the rights to your equipment?
In the generator world, proprietary means the equipment must be serviced solely by licensed technicians of the manufacturer. When you own a generator with proprietary equipment, you are beholden to the manufacturer's technicians for not only warranty work, but preventative maintenance and repairs as well. This can be more costly and may put you in a tough situation as there may be only one vendor in your area to service your equipment.
Conversely, non-proprietary (also called open protocol) puts the equipment into the hands of the owner. Open protocol equipment can be serviced by any licensed technician which can be more timely and more economical. You can choose your service provider.
