It has been cloudy since many days. Is it possible to have the Quattro (with a connected gasoline generator) load the batteries and invert to 230 V at the same time?

the quattro see below and I hope it helps explain how the quattro or multiplus can work for you to achieve what you require but in a different way that what you have asked
if you connect the generator then as a example the quattros ac limit is set to 15 amps or just below the max the gen can supply then the generator will charge the batteries up to the max ac limit set and then if the battery charging is less then 15 amps ac then as the inverter is in bypass the extra amps up to 15 amps can be used by the appliances, then or if the appliances draw more then the charge current will be reduced so that the 15 amps is not breached. if you then draw more than 15 amps with the appliances in total then 15 amps would come from the gen and the extra would be supplied by the inverter from the batteries,
