Take in account, you may be speaking to a American, and there the whole solar/battery vs Generator can be extreme different. Solar prices are still extreme expensive in the US (from my perspective), same with batteries, while gasoline is like 1/3 the price of Europe. So from that US point of view, its one or the other but both is more expensive. Here going big with solar is way easier, and just a small backup generator is the norm for off-grid or grid-disconnected homes. People going 50, 70 ... battery Kwh installations is not uncommon anymore for the off-grid/grid disconnected homes. Especially when the batteries cost you barely 6k Euro. I balk at seeing the US prices and that may be because of the much higher import taxes on Chinese panels/batteries (that and some extreme scrupulous installers). Now to be honest, what people also ignore is that fuel prices are going to go only one way, and that is up. While a fix solar installation has only one cost, the few times you need to run a jenny. Batteries, especially large setups, easily do 20 year before they hit 80%. Another US caveat, is that US households use way more electricity then Europeans. That is also a factor...
