Does Solar Make Sense For E-Bike Bikepacking?

When e-bike bikepacking or bicycle touring on an e-bike, is it worth it to bring portable solar power to charge up your e-bike in the wild? As it turns out, solar isn't that pratical for electric bicycles, even if you're stationary while camping for a few days. If you're on a long-distance bikepacking trip, it makes even less sense. Bring an extra battery ahead of time and plan your charging stops!
