Option D.
300 watts of solar, a 30 amp controller and in the genny compartment mount a Champion 3100, with remote electric start,.

It will require some modifying to install, especially if you want to find a way to route the exhaust up like the Onan unit would, and you would have to decide where to mount your master breaker, but the total package shouldnt cost but $1800-$2000.

Edit add on If you want to splurge, 4 GC-2 Batteries to give 430 Amp hrs of storage. $480 more.
