again...it's obviously not for you. and it's not for everybody.
but, it's definitely for me.

the cost was minimal for materials ($300: two 100 watt panels, controller, wire, mounts), and I installed myself.
my battery compartment only supports two batteries, so I have two COSTCO Interstate flooded that cost about $80 each.

and for what we do, (60-80% boondocking in 70 degree sunny weather, 1-3 days) my batteries stay charged 24hrs/day even after using an inverter at night for TV/DVD.

so for me, it's perfect.

and yes, if I'm boon docking and wife wants to run microwave, I turn on generator for 3-5 minutes.

would lithium batteries and more panels make it better? yes! but so would a $350K Tiffin DP with eight 6 volt Trojans.

again, I see your points. it's not for everyone.

again, different strokes for different folks.
