FWIW, my generators do not make (much) stench and noise at all. In addition other campers around us understand, expect, and accept built-in big generator usage when it's 95 degrees-on-up outside.

IMHO, solar is not the end-all and be-all either - especailly so if you want hot weather protection.
For merely keeping RV batteries maintained for off-grid camping, an onboard fuel cell system that quietly and automatically keeps them charged is the ultimate approach -> similar to how the marine world takes care of their batteries off-grid regardless of weather or time of day.
