$1,135 for a 600 solar watt kit isn't "thousands," Wing zealot. It's one thousand one hundred and thirty-five dollars. I don't mind anti-solar people but be accurate on prices.

shop around, you can easily end up paying even less. for 480 watts of solar panels I paid $375 last year . add 200 at most for a good 30A pwm controller. Add another $100 for 8 ga wire and routing aids etc.
or for about $600 you can get 3 160W portable panels, and add the controller and some wire. works great in the forest.
I still have the honda 2000, but it might get an hour or so's use in a two week dry campout. We even run the microwave off an inverter.
