125 watt solar best 10 amp an hour, best sunshine in this country 10 hours so 10x10 = 100 amp a day and thats being generous
12v genny =70 amp an hour 70x10 = 700amp =365 days
i will :thumb:Feel free to download and amend and submit your own.

ok we will do a simple run test for a £1000:thumb:
we will get four 110 amp flat batteries at 11,9v,i will take two and connect them to my genny,the other 2 can be connected to a 200 watt solar system,and after an 2 hours we will messure battery voltage,but i will also run a 600watt hairdryer during the run test,any takers???

4x80/85w solar system impressive:thumb:You must have a lot of hair if you need to run a hairdryer for two hours
12v generator can produce more indeed but how much fuel to run it for 10hours. If you ran it for 1 hour it would be comparable to the solar panel all day, which uses no fuel at all. You can also have more solar if you've got room on the roof. I have 4 x 80/85w which could produce 200Ah+ per day at best but needs no attention and no fuel. Convenience and silence is also a factor, also unless you make your own as you do, 12v generators are quite expensive compared to around £100 for a solar panel.

Based on Cost and out right performance the 12 volt generator wins hand down.
I have just made mention on the other thread that the scoring is probably biased more towards overall convenience.
good aint it:thumb:storage is not a problem its only small and light:thumb:
noise could be better but thats something i WILL sort out when my workshop warms up a bit:thumb:

Sorry for being a bit thick here (and off topic) but why not have solar panels AND a generator...
Wouldn't this mean that when there was a lot of sun you use the power supplied free (after initial outlay) by the shiny, hot thing in the sky and if it is overcast for several days, and you run short of power, you fire up the genny for a while?
It seems like a possible solution similar to the "bely and braces" philosphy...

A 600W hair dryer is not designed to run continuously for 2 hours, this could be very dangerous.
