>Carry around
In the car, I don't have to carry them around myself, it doesn't matter that they weigh 30 lbs because I only need to actually pick them up for setup and takedown, and 30 lbs really isn't that heavy.
>Shitload of setup
Oh no, it's so hard to plug wires into other wires and then into a charge controller!
>weather dependent
I have a whole car as a battery backup, and I'm probably not using a kWh per day on a fridge, and even then solar panels still generate about 20-25% of their rated power when it's completely overcast
>Barely as much power as a cheap generator
With no fuel and no noise and no maintenance and which will run when I'm not there
It doesn't matter that the generator is cheaper up front, or even if it would be cheaper over the lifetime of the panels, I don't go out into the middle of nowhere to listen to the drone of a generator while sitting in camp.
