Well I'm basically done with all the wiring up except to pull the wire from the roof to the control panel. Using 6ga marine grade wire for that. Tidy up some with zip ties and mount the Touch 50 screen up in the living area.
I did take 2 of the PV panels and leaned them up facing the sun as best I could and hooked them up in series and then ran it to the SCC. Everything works well. The most I saw was 460 watts out of the pair (Canadian Solar 255 watt)
Ran the a/c some and then only the fan. With only the fan running I had a 245 watt load with 374 watts coming in. Was nice to see everything working. Now I need to build my frame work to mount the PV's. Building the frame work with the intent of mounting an actuator to tilt then panels.
Below are a couple of clips of the monitor screen with things running.
