Solar project thoughts.
Hi guys. Midway through installing. I have the panels mounted and working through wiring. Looking for thoughtful comments. Here are a couple pics of install to date.

A couple more pics.
Basement with stock charging converter and transfer switch removed. Farther down added a junction box to splice in 110 from magnum inverter/charger.
Solar Charge controller. This is at the back of the basement very close to battery bank.
This board will be the front part of the battery clamping system. Not a lot of space to work with. Still playing with design.
Roof combiner box. I decided to run panels in parallel which requires more wiring. The panel wires are 10 gauge housed in 3/8 liquid tight flexible conduit. The conduit really isn't necessary but does allow me to raise off the roof a bit to allow better water run-off. The main feeders down are 2 gauge flexible welding cable.
All sealed up. A weather tight gland added after this picture for the cell booster cable.
