3250 watts of PV ordered

A few days ago I ordered 13 sharp 250's for .75 a watt. I am pretty happy. I am doing something a little funky so the electrical specs needed to be pretty specific and these fit those requirements. Plus I feel good about going with sharp panels as they are US made/assembled and one of the companies that is more likely to be around for potential warranty issues compared to a lot of these other manufactures that come and go. As soon as the ground thaws I can get installing. Looks like the days of nervously watching battery voltage during the winter months will be over soon.

I am going up to 24V when I get these up and running. My battery bank is very small, only 400 AH. This may seem like quite a mismatch, but I want to be able to run power tools off the array, heat water, and get good charging on cloudy days.
