Ozz, looking good! I'll be watching and learning. All the 315 watt panels are huge, which type did you go with? I'd have to mount them on the back 1/3rd and the wire run to the combiner box would maybe be 12' or so. Think there would be much power loss at that length.

I went with NAWS SolarWorld Mono panels. great thing about the big ones is that they are 45.6 volts, not much voltage loss with higher voltages. I had to make cardboard patterns to see what would fit. I wanted 4 but only 3 would fit if I wanted to keep the antenna..
