No More Solar Installs?

I was reading and checking out all these installs again for more info and to make sure I did not miss anything.

Outstanding info, provides tons of Great Ideas/pictures of all the different installs from all over the country.

Doing the finishing touches to scale diagram, for MS MPPT CC, solar wire and other wiring routes to make sure everything fits, in the Electrical Bay of the TH, as I have very limited space in there, then the tools come out and the fun starts.

Guys,
What else do I need?
Have the following on the bench, ready for the Solar install,
4-220W Canadian Panels,
Mounting feet/tilt brackets/legs for above,
MS 60A MPPT CC, battery gages, Battery temp gage,
Buss Bars for mounting PV solar wires,
100+' of #10 AWG wire,
Battery disconnect switch,
Crimping tools, Dielectic grease, Color coated heat shrink tapes, 2 types, Labels for all the wiring/cables (+clear heat shrink tape for covering labels),
Misc sizes of Stainless screws/bolts for mounting everything.

Anything else ???

Tia,
Don

Hey Mr Wizard

That looks to be about 10,000 Warts power?

Looks outstanding,

MrWizard, that is a solar farm on your roof! Give us some numbers, please! It looks like you could pull off the fantasy of running the air con off of solar!

I have looked this list over several times and still missed that.

I have already planned on taking lots of photo's etc and will post them to my Photo Bucket account, when finished with the install.

Thanks,
Don
