A portable generator like a Honda 1000 or 2000 is much better, + a battery with a 5-10 amp charger and a small inverter. Run the generator and it powers the computer and weather station and battery charger. Shut the generator off and use the inverter that is connected to your battery. Saves gas...generator does not have to run all day...and you can still use it to charge your race car battery.

Solar needs a lot of surface area for any kind of decent output and is DC I believe so you still would need an inverter and they use a fair amount of current so you'd need a lot of solar panel area and some sun !

I have a generator in my trailer but also have an inverter and give my generator (4KW Onan) a rest periodically by using the inverter...and I have a small 5 amp battery charger so the battery gets recharged when the generator is running.
