Since the right-hand edge of the generator shows in the left-hand half
of the image, there clearly was no need to "make it fit".
What there was was a need to do...

charging...

'This year the World Solar Challenge has a new technology on the ground
for testing: an off-grid charging prototype being developed by the NRMA
and Linked Group Services.
Located at the Erldunda control stop about 200km south of Alice Springs,
this Australian-first technology aims to solve a problem that is not
unique to Australia, but which Australia (and more particularly, the
NRMA) can help to solve - remote EV charging.
The prototype built by NRMA and Linked includes two 75 kW chargers
powered by a hybrid system of solar panels, battery banks, and a backup
generator.
This backup diesel-powered generator automatically switches on when the
solar panels arenât producing enough power and battery levels are low,
typically after several overcast days. '
