Without a good enclosure any generator is annoying after a while. I think you would be even more shocked at how many of them have solar on the roof :) ... And they still run generators, even when it's sunny and not hot. Why - God knows.
"Occasional", "half hour tops" running a generator in desert - 2 posts above - is yet more puzzling. A/C is rarely used "half hour tops", so those people were probably not running A/C. There is no dense tree canopy in desert, and normally - no rain or overcast. Appears to be a perfect scenario to have and use a mid-size solar - cheaper, quieter, no smell. But many don't. Why - God knows... Some that I talked to, were ignorant, they had had genny for years and kept on using it because they didn't know anything else (and sometimes didn't want to know). Some were not people that would make sense talking to.
