I have just bought a 850watt generator and i wanted to connect it up to my off grid solar powered shed.
I wanted to use the generator to charge my battery bank for the solar panels and i wanted to run the power around my shed.I already have a distribution box to power points and lights so could i hook my generator and my battery bank inverter to one power cable.i think i would need a Transfer switch to switch from solar panels to generator or could i run both at the same time to increase the power

both at the same time would be difficult, you would have to synchronize the two AC sources for frequency, phase and voltage. Could be done, but you need special equipment.
Transfer switches you can buy online or at electrical supply houses.
