You’re pretty spot on there! Wouldn’t be hard to program a controller to measure the voltage on the battery, then send run signal to generator to turn on. The when it hits a mark 80% charged, probably, send kill signal to the generator. With this controller, it would also pair nicely with solar, which it sounds like OP is pursuing as well
OP, for maximal efficiency and integration with solar, batteries are an absolute must. Much higher startup cost, but much less expensive in the long term.
