Aha yep, sorry, I failed to see the word 'inverter' generator in the OP.
I've not heard of
inverter generators before so admit I'm out of touch with the new stuff and retract my comment.
All the generators I've owned(3) over the years were alternator type which are pure sine wave with no inverter. Honda was by far the best one I had.
I used these heavily(~8 hours) every day on building sites before on-site mains became the norm. Which was some time ago, technology has obviously improved since then.

...except, by definition, solar power is only generated by day.

Well obviously.
Being an astronomer with a portable solar setup posting in an astronomy equipment forum, storage is implied in my 'solar' comment, as a system.
It was the other way around for me, the generators I used were more than twice the price of my solar setup, but admittedly those generators were respected brand and chosen for reliability as an everyday workhorse. I was also fortunate in that all my solar gear was bought at staff discount pricing.
But yes I agree, these newer Chinese units would likely be cheaper than solar and perfectly fine for occasional use.
