Sounds like the big parts, the little things are going to add it .. PV wire, PV Connectors, things to connect AC up to existing break box (if you have one) … and all the tools to gets things up and running… I’m sure there will be others that can add to the list I started …

Sounds like you’re off to a good start, my system as you can see below is very close, and I am very happy …

OK, I have updated my shopping list.

Just a note if you do buy via Amazon make sure you go to other sellers option and pick an authorized Victron dealer like Pike, invertersrus etc for the seller. Buying from random abc distributors etc can cause support headaches down the track.

Good point. I do plan to use a reputable Victron dealer as much as I can (depending on availability & price).

So, as discussed, I've replaced the mega fuses & the battery post fuses by class-t fuses.
The smallest class-T fuse I could find is a 80A (vs the 40A mega fuse).
I've also added some cables so...
