 Generators generally have a minimum amount of wattage they can produce.  This means that until you hit that minimum multiple loads can be run for "free", speaking in terms of fuel consumption.
-An example of an efficient use would be to start the generator in the morning when batteries are most depleted and use all your heavy loads as simultaneously as possible.  Shut the genny down when the battery bank reaches Vabs and let solar handle Absorpbtion and Float stages.
