Given the need to maintain a ~100°F temperature differential on at least 6 days so far this year (at least here in Montana), a solar-augmented generator is probably not enough.

Our heat pump has a natural gas backup, and even it was running at about a 60-70% duty cycle on those days.

All that to say: +1 on a wood stove backup.
