If you can wait, Magnum Energy has a stand alone, power factor corrected charger coming out. I've been bugging them for a couple years about it. Otherwise we have sold hundreds of Iota's. A 3 stage charger (with IQ) and voltage range can be adjusted internally. Not bad for the price.

Both the generator and the battery bank are amply sized as is the PV array. I have used Iota chargers in the past, but wondered if they are other options worth considering.
