In my opinion, gasoline generators have some drawbacks. For example, I live in a small rented apartment, and they're very noisy you know how complaining neighbors can be and they give off a very strong smell, which isn't good for my asthma and allergies. Many families choose this option for their homes. The gasoline shortage isn't a positive point, and where it's readily available, it costs, I think, 50 cents per liter. The amount of gasoline consumed depends on the size of the generator. I'm not entirely sure how much gasoline I use per week, running it for six hours a day.
The price of solar panels depends on the size; to power an entire house, it can range from $7,000 upwards.
It would be neat if your apartment building owner would buy a generator and split the costs across everyone's rent.
Are solar panels even possible with your apartment situation?
The building doesn't belong to a single person; each apartment has an owner. In that case, the owners of each apartment would have to agree to acquire a generator. But to be honest, it's quite complicated. Many residents here owe their condominium fees, they don't pay the contributions collected for repairs in the common areas, and I doubt they'd want to or be able to contribute $500 or more for a generator. That's why I have to get one just for this apartment and coordinate with the owner.

How long does charging take? Hopefully, you can get the banks fully charged before you need them again.
I might be inclined towards the gas ones, despite the drawbacks, just because you can go out and get gas, independent of your home electricity being on. Although, I know there are issues with access to gasoline, too.
What are the costs of solar panels?
