2002 USD $190 35kg including 40 Ah 12V automotive battery. One person generates 84 - 120 W. Two people generates 225 - 240 W more easily. Also White LED and solar details. Capex less than solar. Opex acceptable only for emergency use. Genset slightly higher minimum capex (but lower per watt) and much higher opex for fuel? Essentially issue is scalability relative cost of fuel (including transport).
