Considering the average electric stove element is about 2000 or so watts your friend must have a mighty powerful DC to AC inverter and a thumping set of batteries. 
hock:
His best option would be to go gas for cooking, put in extra batteries and solar panels to run the fridge/washing machine etc of the inverter.
Sell the large and expensive to run 7KVA generator and buy a smaller gennie like a Yamaha 3.6KVa or a Honda which give pure sinewave AC.
Such a gennie will run fridges, washing machines with no trouble if needed if and when solar power fails.
A battery charger about 30 Amps capacity so as to recharge the batteries on those cloudy days when there is not any solar charging would be another useful thing.
