Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you have a nice setup.
Except for AC we are all solar now. We run a 230 watt panel and have another 220w available, a few small inverters (bigger one coming ) and a 3500/4000 generator. We also use led lighting to reduce the load at night.
My suggestion for you is after you run the generator for charging to put your panels on. The generator is great at getting the battery up to 90% but the last 10% takes forever at low power. Your panels give low power all day long getting you closer to full and that's great for your batteries. My solar off sets any loads we have during the day,even the furnace.
