Okay.. I'm getting a bit more confidence this is doable
Already have excess mule tape from other pulls I would use.
For background on why now; I currently have about 9kW situated on several top of pole mounts (some panels over 15 years old). This winter we've had many days of thick clouds resulting in only about 10% of normal production for that day. Fossil fuel generator is also not an option for reasons won't delve into here. Currently grid-connected in order to make up for the shortfall. Plan is to disconnect from the grid this summer since utility company is planning on doing work this summer that we don't want. So I am left with needing significant PV production for maintaining all loads even during these cloudy winter days.
I was looking at using either 24 or 48 of the 540W Vikram bifacial panels. Specifically looking at these since they are made in India instead of China. Would be put on a seasonally adjustable (up to 60° tilt) Sky-Rack 2.0 ground mount from Sinclair Designs. After talking with them they said those larger panels would need to use their 8 panel mount sections and since I would be using 6 panels per string I'm left with multiples of 6 and 8 hence the 24 or 48. Already in the Victron ecosystem so would use 1 or 2 of the SmartSolar 450/200 (4 independent trackers per controller). Usually hit -40 or lower in winter so have to watch that Voc and therefore the 6 panels per string only. 24 likely would be enough for now but don't want to have to expand again 5-10 years from now when everyone has EV's
