    Are those 5A charge controllers?

    What is the panel wattage, battery Ah rating and approximate wattage on each circuit?

      Very good looking and, of course very robust and redundant.
      But was there a reason for the distributed system other than redundancy and keeping each circuit load within the capability of individual solar lighting controllers?
      Is there manual switching for the lights?

        Thanks...

        I went with 6 systems vs 1 large system.
        My theory is if 1 panel, controller or battery should go bad, there are still 5 circuits illuminating the dark property.
        If I had built just one circuit, and the controller went bad, the whole property would be dark until the repair/replacement is made.
        Also, I can program circuit loads at different durations, some are dusk-to-dawn, others are dusk +6 hours.

        It didn't cost a whole lot more for the multiple-circuit convenience.

          Yes, on some.
