Solar is expensive. The newer the Newell the less practical solar is as the electrical loads get higher and higher making use of the generator a necessity anyway. With the generator you recharge your batteries faster and provide all the power you need. Generators are made to run for thousands of hours without problems. Solar can be a real boon for dry camping in an older Newell with more modest electrical needs. You will pay dearly for a good solar power system and to supply substantial power to the batteries you will need large solar panels, likely more than it sounds like you have.
