I, too, don't like trusting unsaved files to hibernate. But I also
wouldn't trust all my individual applications autosaving of files (even
where such exist). So when I need to power down the machine, I have two
choices: halt and hibernate, and in any event, I'll want to save all
important work first. So why would I reboot instead of hiberate?

Because you're on solar power alone, no grid access and you're trying to live in a way that's a little more sustainable and set an example for others. By shutting down your machine and booting it up again when required makes you feel virtuous; or any of the above. Which are all good reasons.
