Yeah this is what we used to do before solar generators. And I still advocate for it because they're still far simpler and far easier to diagnose and repair.
Any of these components goes out in a solar generator and the whole thing is garbage. Any component in this system fails and you swap just that component and leave the rest.
100% agree on repairability, plus you can upgrade individual components as your needs change or when better tech comes out - try doing that with those expensive all-in-one generators lol.
A very good article, highly recommended! The first step to thinking outside of the box is building outside of the box.💪
