Another factor in favor of solar/battery storage is their silence.
During some power failures, a generator will be a dinner bell for hungry predators.
My generator masks the noise of suppressed .22 LR firing from the back deck ;) Glad I live in rural AR (outside Little Rock)....lots of good ole boys with NFA toys around here since we have John Norrell (www.johnnorrellarms.com) around here cranking out suppressors.
Besides the noise it’s easy to tell who has power during an outage after it gets dark. Looks like North Korea.
