I run the 2200i generator when the SOC will not be at 65% +/- by 6pm in the winter months. Between furnace, inverter (I don't turn it off), humidifier runs 24/7 and other misc loads, the nighly use will be 35 or so %, so when morning comes I can still make a couple 12c pots of coffee and run the microwave for 5 minutes. Which will put me in the 25% +/- SoC using the high draw items. I'll let solar do what ever it can during the day and decide how long to run the generator if needed to get to the nighttime % needed, which normally theres enough solar to get that point. 1 hour of gen run time equals 100ah or 20% charge to the batteries. 1 to 2 hours is the amount of time it will run if it's needed.
Location and sun/ weather conditions are deciding factors obviously if generator is needed. Here is how it breaks down from previous years.
2017_ 6x for 13 hours total
2018_ 16x for 33 hours total
2019_ 20x for 34 hours total
2020_ 18x for 28.5 hours total
2021_ 3x for 4 hours total
112.5 hours total during this period time.
