Ah, so it wasn't a choice between limited and no power after all.

Did you compare the power generated per full day of solar power capture versus 20 minutes of running a generator before you chose solar? Or did you just pick solar because you preferred it for aesthetic reasons and no amount of inefficiency or unreliability was going to dissuade you?

I chose solar because I got the panels and rest of the system for free.

Guy down the hill was switching his out for a better one and asked me if I wanted it for my cabin.

Up until then it was no power because the hauling a generator, even propane which would have been most practical, in and out would have been too much trouble.

Maybe if someone had offered me a gas generator that was already there, offered to maintain it, haul in the fuel and so on and so forth I would have gone for it.

Or maybe not.

Didn't happen that way so I didn't do it that way.
