    For the solar, it's likely going to be a back-feeding situation which would wold be 40, or a 50amp circuit breaker back feeding onto the busbar. For the generator too it would be a bit more complex because you have "lock out" the DC from the solar and prevent it from back-feeding onto the standby generator.
