Solar Rv awning -- does it pencil out?
Great idea, but at ten thousand dollars for a thousand watts, I'm not sure it is worthwhile for me: Article

Timmo solar is under $1 per watt installed.
Where are you buying fuel at those prices today?
You have not factored in maintenance. My Yamaha wants oil every 50 hours. If I relied on it totally and ran 24/7 that's every two days, two hours.
Not in Canada but in a lot of the USA, it's still a reasonable long term assumption.
Odd, my Yamaha calls for oil change every 100hr.
If you just need to charge the batteries, solar is a good option. Generator's make sense when you need high load, longer duration output.
