Really, if you build from the ground up, or, if you are skilled enough to engineer it, this is a lowish burden if not a no brainer.
If you are a prepper, with your existing lifestyle and think a genset will give you tide-over-until-the-zombies-die, I think you need to think harder: a genny won't work, if you don't pre-design the load for it. Lots of things you own right now probably won't be very happy with unstable volts, and lots of things you own right now will suck hard on the generator, making it surge.
So yes. you can design for it. But a typical home solar setup (which is what the article was about) is not going to just work, offline, with your generator. It takes more work.
