Here is my hybrid system, I have not hooked up a battery "yet" but the system is wired to power 60amps of emergency loads in the event of an outage but yet it is grid tied. This is my first complete start to finish solar project.. As a commercial electrician the solar part was pretty easy for me but satisfying the power company was the struggle being I have a separate meter(previously 3 total) for offpeak and normal loads I ended up revamping much of my power on my property.
24- 390w Canadian solar bifacial panels
SOL-ARK 12K hybrid Inverter
Wood structure
Grid tied w/12 space emergency sub-panel powered thru inverter soon to be a UPS type setup

Looks great. If you haven't already, add some x bracing to the rear, also more from front to rear. I built my 20.64kW pv ground mount on a 36 degree shale/dirt slope. 48 posts holes by hand 2-3' deep. My two SA12k are running great once I figured the settings out.
 
I agree, you need some bracing at the back. If you get a 60 MPH wind hitting the front of the panels that will be the main thing saving you.

Looks good.
Only thing I would suggest is bracing that array.

I don’t know what your weather is like but a strong wind turns those into sails..
