Portable (suitcase) solar "install" question

I went portable at first,....big mistake. At least I didn't waste money on the suitcase models, so when I finally got smart, all I had to do was throw the 3 100 watt panels up on the roof, add a quality controller to replace the crappy ones that come w/ portables. Wrestling portable panels all day is not my idea of a sport.
If I had to choose, portable, or Generator, my little Honda would win hands down.
But that's JMO
