I have solar (130 watts) and a Honda 2000. If I were to only have one, it would be without hesitation the Honda 2000. The cost is about the same in my setup, about $1000. I installed my solar and saved the labor cost.
The Honda only required gas, plug it in and go, rain or shine daylight or dark. The Honda always gives me 15 amps.
The solar requires sun, and in my opinion tilting panels and tracking the sun really is not very practical. While it looks great in theory, practical application with a TC requires lots of drama with little gain over simply flat mounting of the panels.
