Valor 32a10 with Off Grid Package, looking for advice on upgrading

I have a Valor 32a10 with OTG - OFF THE GRID PACKAGE • 400 watt solar panel • Victron 30 amp charge controller •6K Generator
I also have a 280 AH WattCycle Lithium battery

For the time being, I'm fine with running the generator for AC.
The unit is Inverter prepped (junction box to run some outlets).

What recommendations do you have?
What wiring/busbar would I need?

Thanks in advance!

Is your goal to run the AC off battery/solar power? If so, you need to know 1 AC until will use about 100 amp hours per hour. You will need a 3k inverter that is wired directly to your panel vs using the factory "inverter prep" solution. I would also recommend 2k watts of solar and 800+ amp hours of lithium batteries. With 2k watts of solar, you should be able to run one AC and keep battery level topped off. Of course this is only going to happen for ~5 hours a day, in the peak of Summer. In Spring/Fall the sun isn't at the optimal position in the sky to give you peak preformance off the panels. All in, you're looking at ~$14k to have someone do this for you, or ~$8k to do it yourself.
