Wow, what a huge install. Nice work.

So four MX60s at 48V? You got a 10KW+ solar array?

there is just under 13kW of PV. 8kW is grid tie on a separate ground mounted array. 2.5kW is mounted to power my place, and there is 2.5kW piled up in my shop that I havent gotten up yet (thinking of selling some but not sure yet, Siemens SP-150). The outback system is set up as an off grid system. They are the GVFX's and they will grid tie, if I decide to go that route, but i built my place with off grid power (even though a grid connection is really close by) and I have been off grid for the last 8 years. The MX's are for separate and sometimes different orientated PV arrays. Where the MPP would differ. Say for instance the tracking array will be different from the ground array and the roof array (different pitch). The fourth MX is for the listeroid DC backup. I posted that a while ago here:

The listeroid is the only thing I havent brought into the new equipment yet. I will soon and i think I have to finish some testing on that generator.

Just under 13kW, and a lister for backup? Yikes!

Ever consider grid tie? That kind of power might be worth it. Curious what you came up with.
