Good to hear comments re Quattro Inverter/Charger. Heads up, I keep the blog for Victron Energy, on a part time basis , and have used their products exclusively in my own conversion, long before I started blogging for them in fact.
Anyhow, just so folk know there is now also a 15kVA option, 48V with 200 Amps charge output (230V range). See data sheet on this page for specs:

And, as regards generators we also recently announced a Marine Alliance with Fischer Panda, the generator, electric propulsion folk. Includes Raymarine integration:

In terms of monitoring I use Victron's Color Control GX which I find great on the boat. I use my phone or tablet in the cockpit via my onboard local LAN on a local IP address to see battery details, Watts, Voltage, Amps, Temp etc. Generators can also be set to auto start/stop using the Color Control. When away from the boat, via the internet, I use the free VRM App and can switch on/off and adjust charger/inverter settings remotely via https://vrm.victronenergy.com and see all the Color Control info as I can locally.
Note: Not yet officially announced, but coming soon, we are bringing out a more affordable version of the Color Control GX. It is called the Venus GX and has all the same functionality but without a screen, which is not an issue as you can obviously the same info as the Color Control displays but via a phone/tablet/laptop/PC screen.
Hope the above helpful.
