I dislike generators, but relying 100% on solar may not be wise.
I think they compliment each other especially if your only camping is in a national forest..I actually have five generators lol..Kinda a hobbie for years and I just can't seem to sell any of them..If a guy bought a $350 inverter generator and had a decent charger,he needs nothing else..But what fun is that...lol
I swore I would never get into solar but here I am..It is addictive and expensive..There's no end to upgrading a system and everything depends on the sun..Enter lithium batteries and there pros and cons,especially in the winter for me....
Hobotech(Tom) on YouTube,who was full-time in a van,has a roof full of solar panels and two portable solar panels with like 40ft of cable but he also has a small inverter generator for when the sun fails all that solar and his four BattleBorn batteries and it does and did...All this is very interesting to me..
