Even during winter it's useful anyway. And I see a reasonable amount of folks who enjoy travelling all year-round.

Seyz the guy parked almost directly under the equator :P
It's dark at 4:30pm in the winter and the sun doesn't rise until 7:30 at the 45th parallel. On Thursday, my 6.4 kW solar pointed perfectly south at just the right angle produced 1 kWh of electricity. The entire day gave me 12 cents of juice.
Might be appropriate in some use cases, but if you've got to back it up with a genset then there is no savings.
