Looking for ideas on ground mount for dual Ecoflow Delta Pro setup

I’ve got two Ecoflow Delta Pros and one spare battery each along with the double voltage hub and a Reliance Controls 10-Circuit 30 Amp Manual Transfer Switch Kit I need to install. Next is buying PV panels and figuring out a durable but somewhat temporary ground mount setup as I plan on selling this house next year, but would like to dip my toe into solar ASAP. I am looking for advice selecting panels (I’m in Northern Virginia) and finding an easy to execute home array building plan for the panel support structure. I don’t have access to a welder.
 
These battery power pack devices have specific solar panel requirements (and some only allow their own branded units) so it is a bit hard to give much advice. If you are just looking for a temporary means of propping up some panels just build a frame out of wood. Some 2x4 and 4x4's. Since you plan on moving it would not make much sense to over think it.
 
I went with (8) 440 watt Canadian solar panels hooked up in series/parallel and Ecofoot2+ and clamps ground mount kit by Unirac. You only get a maximum of 10 degrees tilt in landscape, however that is all I need right now. I probably get about 2400kw peak on a summer sunny day between both strings.

4 panels per string/Ecoflow, @RLM4JC?
 
Yes, hooked up on n series/parallel. You will need 2 pairs of branch connnectors to keep your voltage under 150v per string.
 
With 8 335w panels having VoC at 45.9v and VMP of 37.65 giving me not much over 600w peak on a good day for either of my EFDPs, is there way to get more watts? Reconfigure, buy more panels?
