Run the generator in the morning to bulk charge quickly to 80-90%, then let the solar top up the batteries slowly over the rest of the day.
Yes, occasionally, the solar won't do the top up but as long as it's not all the time, the batteries should remain happy.
That's a great plan Valhalla360.
Unfortunately Lead acid do want to get to 100% as often as possible. My favorite battery doesn't require that, except once every 30 cycles.
