I run the whole farm on a diesel Onan 19 kw generator. I only have one heat pump unit, but I have never found that it can't run anything/everything at once. Realistically, there are only a few things running at one time. If it meant the jump from 20 to 30 kw (and the associated price) I would be shutting off one of the heat pumps when on gen power.
As a side note: I put in a new heat pump unit about five years ago with a D.C. fan motor. The company said they would void the warranty if they were able to prove that I ran the heat pump on power supplied by my power plant. I heat with wood in the winter and summer outages are rare so it has never been an issue - I haven't needed to run the heat pump during an outage since I got the new one. A newer unit may not want to run on generated power or the company might want to back out of a claim due to that shiny new power plant in the yard.
