Holding up well. I see zero rot on the exposed area. I used 4x4 in a 3x3 grid. I ran long lag bolts in various directions. Just make sure you dig your hole deep enough. I have clay so I was able to get away with 3 feet-ish

I posted a year review: ua-cam.com/video/FJzamVBZR14/v-deo.html

@@encourageyu Thanks. Appreciate you taking the time to respond.

I had the same concerns. It has been running for a year without any issues.

Thank you again. Big help

Home depot caries 10ft 12 gauge strut channel (around $30). I'm sure someone make strut channel longer than 10ft but as things get longer like that, the shipping prices go way up because it become a freight shipment. They make strut channel joiners. However, you can probably get around the longer pieces by reworking the layout. My panels are connected on one long side and 1 short side; I did this because I didn't want the weight of the structure being supported by the panel frame. So when it bows a bit the panel sort of floats on one side. I also didn't use the top connecter for the solar panels. I put nuts/bolts/washers in the bottom of the frame into the strut (be careful drilling if you do this, put something between your bit and panel so you don't make a hole in your solar panel when it breaks through the frame). I haven't had an issues and we get some wind guest of 50+mph. As far as the battery goes, When I lived in an area where it regular got below freezing I had to switch some of my batteries to lithium ion. Some manufactures claim they work in temps from -40 to 140. So find a 12v rechargeable battery that is lithium-ion (make sure it show the temp your looking for). My base is 6 inches higher than ground level. My panels are attached to a 10 feet by 10 feet square. The south west corner kisses mother earth :P Worse case scenario you have to dig a little so it can go all the way down. My panels are arranged is a spiral of portrait to landscape to portrait to landscape. This took away the long measurement. How big are you panels?

I am a big fan of micro inverts. Doing 1 panel per inverter. That really is the optimal way to do it. It seems like there should be some kind of optimizer when putting panels in series that detects a shaded cell and takes it out of the series.

With fall and winter my input power average fell from 1.3KW to 0.5KW. It's mostly due to shadows from the house behind me and a telephone pole :( I could do a video on how I switch it. But there are a lot of requirements to be able to do it the way I did it. If you have Home Assistant setup then I guess it's not so bad. so.. maybe . Thanks for the watching :)

@encourageyu that sucks and ya I understand the shading. I'm in a valley so my window of solar seems to be cut down each day its now 430pm lol even being able to remotely switch the array between the powerstations would be nice lol

Sure, I'll give it a test. is it just a firmware upgrade or new hardware?

@@encourageyu It was updated in both. Btw, may we have your 📩?

@@EcoWorthySolar awesome, I sent an email to your gmail account.

Nice.. I am 2 extra delta pro battery shy of the 21.6KW. I will add them within the next year. I have the smart home panel as well I just haven't installed yet ( My breaker box is 100 ft from my garage). Just need to run the wires. Just an FYI: My tracker is about 10 inches higher than ground level. If it was at ground level the corners of the panels would hit the ground

I just emailed their support and asked for access. it took about 4-5 days and they sent me the key and secret.

It's on the north east corner.

Why is your north on the ground? You in Australia?

I added them :)

Yes, it came out fantastic.
