Royce, what size panels are those?
And is that just Unistrut for roof tracks?
Tough looking brackets! Love 'em!

Yes, aluminum 1/2 strut.

Hi Royce -
1. Who makes that solar panel?
2. Will you be my grandpa?

The panels came from Canadian Solar.
Here is the poop sheet for them.
Yes, I'm thinking if you don't eat too many of gramma's cookies, it will work out fine.

Just happened to see those online over the past week. Have you had success with them or are they completely new to you?
Brand new, should have them wired tomorrow.
Need to reread the controller paper work to get it set up proper.
It makes me nervous as I have zero experience with this sort of work.

Just follow the manual and you will be fine. Its pretty hard to mess it up unless you are color blind, or can't read!
Thanks Midwestdrifter,
It's funny how I find setting up and commissioning a mechanical system so intuitive and when dealing with this electrical system, nothing comes easy.

Its all about experience. That brings confidence. Given your attention to detail, you are highly unlikely to let the smoke out regardless. As a substitute education works quite well, hence this forum. I am certain there are plenty of users looking at your fab work going AH-HA! That's how its done!
Moving forward on electrical,
Exterior lights, toilet, interior lights, water pump and fridge all commissioned.
Feels good to have the fridge making cold.
Also, got the cabinet drawers installed.
Next up, drawer fronts and doors.
Again, sorry for the crooked pic.

Right on Allen,
Turning things on really feels like progress.
Thank you for the encouragement.
