My original proof of concept system was 6 panels but I ended up expanding it out to 9 panels. I have security cam footage of the install so I thought I'd throw it up here for people to look at (and laugh LOL).
REC 330 panels, Tigo Optimizers, and Tamarack frames. The wood is all 4x6 lumber, the lag screws are 10 inch (if I remember correctly). It turns out that this is actually one of the best areas of my yard for the panels, I've analyzed the shading with my security cameras. I'm unsure how much better the roof might be, I don't have cameras with a roof vantage point.
The build video is running at a 20x speed up, but it is basically unedited so there might be some 30 second or so pauses where nothing happens. I think the sound you hear in the video is the sound of the wind at 20x speed.
The forklift is a Namco that I gave $500 bucks for then I threw in some Costco golf cart batteries. It's 36v though :-(
