All electric boondocking IS possibly, but you will need a lot of solar panels and I would still have a generator in case you have several cloudy days.

Solar hot water.
Boondocking means obtaining fresh water and disposing of gray and black water every few days. You are going to need a minimum of 2, more likely 4 five galoon gas cans to keep the generator(s) running between water refill/disposal.
