First, I hate the term "solar generator". It's a fancy battery with with a battery management system, a battery monitor, an inverter and a solar charge controller. Solar panels are almost always an extra cost option.
Second, while neatly and conveniently packaged and easy to use, they WAY OVER PRICED !
Hmmm .... well engineered and well built self-contained ready-to-go stuff is always more expensive than DIY stuff.
I guess that's why the DW and myself:
1) Bought raw land
2) built most of our house ourselves
3) did the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC ourselves,
4) ran the outdoor pipes and power from the house to the well,
5) and built the interior of our first van camper.
.... to save money.
I like to keep the above kind of projects to a minimum these days. :B
