OP should get 6hours to run 1AC off batteries then charge up using the genny in 2 hours. On top of this with 1800w solar it should basically keep up with the AC running during the day so its basically just for the nighttime which shouldn't need to be on all the time depending on outside temps.Can feed both hots with an external 50 amp transfer switch to power the entire panel and get by with less inverter.
This would lose some functions and consider a simpler dedicated inverter vs the multifunction.
Going to require a monster battery to run the A/C for any significant time. If you plan to do this and charge by generator... may as well run the generator from the get go. Most everything else can run on 3000 watts.
Likely he'd only need to run the genny for like an hour twice a day max, unless its cloudy or rainy out and in that case he doesn't need as much AC anyways. Even with auto start/stop from the cerbo its nice to not have to deal with a genny or hear it or anything.
