Lol, technomadia runs full time with mostly solar, they can even run both AC units in their bus for 2.5 hours off just their battery bank, much longer with solar boost. They do have a 2.5kW generator but they've said they rarely run it, between 800W of roof solar, 600W of grounds panels, and 400WHrs of lithium they can get by running everything without it most of the time. Interestingly they've run off solar plus a 15A extension cord with AC for several weeks at a time.
