New garage time!

Now that 3 batteries are online, and a 4th top balancing, I can take some time to get more inverters hooked up. Got 2 more inverters nearly done. Cables run, ends crimped, heat shrink on. It almost looks professional.
I hate how the negative lug is behind the pv wires though.

Aww yes...
So I can't quite figure out how to get SA to change the order of inverters, or be able to label them. It does what it wants. But I can infer which ones are which by looking at load.
Everything is online, split phase, cables wired properly, current sharing, 18kw total, 9k per leg.
Tomorrow, more battery work.

Well I cranked out 14.5kwh today from 15 panels, and there were some dips.
I have 24 panels up in a 6x4 grid, but I'm running 15 panels per inverter. Which means I had 9 up and doing nothing.
So I decided to put one more up, and wire them up in a 5s2p instead of 5s3p.
This is a very temporary setup. I rigged it in a way that it would not interfere with me putting up the rest of the racking for the second set of 24 panels. I need to drop the back end by about an inch.
All I am missing is some bus bars so I couldn't wire them into the combiner box. I'll pick them up tomorrow then hook up some wires and I'll increase my generation by 66%.

Could be a challenge. Best of luck.

Is this for the solar array structure, or for the barn/shop/garage? Or both?
TSC chicks are $6.99 and $9.99 for premium. Still no chicks at TSC.
As such, i've decided to breed what I have.
I'm building a new coop at the other end of the run, and I'm going to isolate my rooster, 6 egger hens, and 4 RiR's. Once isolated they'll spend 2 weeks together then I'll assume the eggs are fertilized. I'll start setting them aside then.
I have a 30 egg incubator that was a nightmare to find. But it's done.
Word has gotten out, people are asking me for fertilized eggs.
So here I have my new coop. Some assembly required.
New coop will double as brooder once the chicks hatch, so that'll be nice.
