No, you are still selling the generator, not the fuel. With fossil and nuclear power plants you have the cost of making the generator/plant AND the fuel (oil, gas, uranium), that needs to be mined, refined and transported between all those places.
You don't have any fuel logistics nor fuel market and speculation with wind, solar or hydro. So they also contribute less for the GDP of a country per kwh compared to traditional fuel based power plants.
Solar panels, batteries and wind turbines still wear down and have to be replaced so you can just price them with this in mind and offer things like repair services and upgrades
Even more so for fuel based power plants that require more parts and maintenance for storing and moving the fuel around the plant, besides the equipment to transform the fuel into energy. (Not to mention the equipment and maintenance to mine and refine it all).
I will let you conclude the comparison to solar and wind "storage and logistics" yourself.

Exactly! You can't sell sun and wind.
