I like transformer isolation, but I suppose as long as the neutral of 
the generator is
tied to ground and battery negative you'll be OK.

As far as capacitors go, there is usually plenty of capacitance built 
into on the PV input of
MPPT charge controllers already.  At least the ones I have seen, there's 
LoTs of C.
