Everything works. And by works, I mean I can get it work ready in a weekend or less.

The b8200 alternator belt was loose and it was slapping the upper radiator hose, to the point where it made a hole and started leaking. So I topped off the radiator, tightened the belt, wrapped the hose in tape, and ran it. I'm ordering a new hose now.

This was less than fun. I pulled my right tricep and my left quad while doing it. I don't recommend doing it this way.

Are you increasing the number of panels?

Are you increasing the number of panels?

yes, the system is half done, i'm going from 24 to 48 for a total of 11.5kw. Which should be perfect as most sunny days i'm generating more than half of my total consumption. I'm up to 90kwh in battery, so i have a decent buffer size as well.
