Solar is awful dependent on where you live and the weather..I have 400 watts on the roof and 200ah of lithium batteries and it won't keep up right now in this weather..5-6 days maybe then it's generator time...Roughly 5-600 watt hours going out daily..The 2k inverter uses 13 watts times four is 300 watts plus daily of I left it on 24/7..
I need my generators even with 4-600 watts of solar where I live in the winter..The summer is just the opposite with all the sun..
So you have about 2x my battery capacity (SLA only down to 50%).
We've dry camped for a week with less than an hour in the am and an hour in the pm on generator to run A/C, microwave, coffee maker, high amp battery charger, etc.
That was for comfort, not dead batteries. They were also new, now about 4yrs old
The inverter I have is PROsine 1800 hardwired:

It's only 1.5w on standby. So low that when we were using it, I just left it turned on.
Thanks.
