Yeah, this is an age old battle. In my opinion, it comes down to some people have a 360 day need for solar but the vast majority have a 30 day need.
In my case, it's under 30 days for high usage, and my generators are a sunk cost. I can't justify paying $500+ for a SiO2 or $1000+ for a LiXXXX battery plus another $500 for additional panels, controller and inverter.
For full-timers who like to be off-grid, it's a great solution. For the weekend warrior and two-week road trippers, it's a nice to have but probably not entirely cost justified.
