I could have just forked out double the money and got a 2 X bigger solar system but the coin just isn't there (Eagle eyed wife ...seriously ) ...so I thought a cheap 3000watt genie might help and get under the Eagles radar..?

The max charging current limit of the batteries I am planning on getting, is 120amps.

I just want to know if it is ok to have the panels, via the regulator, pumping up to 36 amps (4 X 9 amps per panel) into the batteries, while I also have a charger (run from the generator) connected to and charging the same batteries..?
