Hi LarryJM,

But what are your costs of running your generator? That's what the thread started out as! Thanks in advance.

Try and making coffee or the microwave or using an electric space heater on that solar system ... it will loose every time. And then try and recharge your batteries maybe 2 or 4 six volt Trojans than you have used overnight the next day on just solar .. again another no go. Generators have their place as so solar, but IMHO something like a Honda 2000 is so much more flexible over solar it's a no brainer IMHO.
