When calculating the true cost of solar vs no solar, you need to put a number on the value of not having to run your generator, to listen to it, to smell it, to refuel it, etc. I don't know how to quantify that variable, but it is very significant, especially if you are boondocking in some beautiful remote area.
To put it another way, it cost me a few hundred bucks for a decent 120 watt solar panel, and several hundred for my almost never used Honda generator. You would have to pay me a LOT of money to give up my solar panel and run my generator instead.
