An ICE engine powered generator will outlast and outperform the solar panels and solar batteries. The same batteries that start to give up the ghost the second after they’re made, and which, ironically, no one cares where they will end up.

I prefer no BEV, no solar, no batteries, just burn natural gas and/or coal; unless you have a nuke nearby.

Glad to hear that solar batteries are not as prone to thermal runaway as EV's.

Neither did I and was getting a bit paranoid about my solar installation
