Hope all is well The stock shore power charger/converter in my RV is a Progressive Dynamics 45 amp converter. The model # is PD4045KA. I will be upgrading to lithium and Progressive Dynamics a...

When that one unit fails then what?
Solar power varies considerably during the day. What constitues no solar? 1A charging? So do you want the gen on at cloudly 10:00am with the potential for significant sun the rest of the day?
I don't know your plan. Mine is to get the batteries recharged by sunset. A flooded/AGM plan is to charge in the AM if conditions suggest and let solar finish the charging. With LI which can be charged at a high rate waiting might a good option. Boondocking charge when you want, CGs not so much.
Are you aware that LI voltage remains high until they reach 10%+ SOC with minimum drop? You might want to look for gen start based on SOC.
for example, if the batteries are run down below a certain percentage and there is no incoming solar, ideally the generator comes on automatically
