Ive been doing the "off grid" thing for 5 years now. One thing I can recommend even without specifics being provided is the generator. Only use an Inverter type. They aren't as cheap but your electronocs will thank you. Dirty power will effect the life of all electronics. Also, you will want to get the smallest genset that will support the charging needed for the size of the battery bank/minimum loads required (do you really need to do laudary at night). Any more and your just wasting fuel and $. Ive seen my neighbors go out and buy the biggest genset they can and usually just run small loads 80% of the time. I told them they should get two smaller units and parallel them (most have this feature) as needed. But they never listen...
As for the inverter itself you should consider one with a hybrid charger such as Victrons Multiplus. These allow you to charge the battery and supply the loads needed in the house. But, if you need an additional (short term) load increase (wife really wants that late night toast) it can use the power from the genny AND draw from the battery at the same time. Unlike most inverter chargers that look to the generator to do it all and probably trip the breaker. These are pretty new and I plan to get one when mine is do for replacement.
