You may be very pleasantly surprised at how well the 12 volt system works with just a little solar power. We never plug in or use a generator. After I installed a single 100 watt solar panel our batteries have never gone below 80 per cent charge.
I think adding solar a little at a time will serve you well. Do get a battery monitor so you can see how it is going and when your batteries approach the dreaded half charge where damage begins. Being handy and knowledgeable electrically, you will have no problem installing the $25 eBay battery monitor which shows amp hours and per cent charge.
