No coconut crabs but plenty of mud crabs. About $2 a kilo. Sorry about cubicles and computing. Never done it myself. Spent most of my life spearfishing for a living.

Anyhow, I wish you success with your solar project in that beautiful locale.

Sorry Mike, when you guys told me I had the wrong panels with those two 24v I decided to use tow different systems as in #46 and #47.
I am now concernarating on a 24v system using the 4 x 12v 200w panels I have as in the diagram below.
I am going to use the 24v panels in a 12v system which I will figure out after I put in place the 24v system.
The one now is this one.
If by any chance there is a way to incorporate the grid tie panels I am all ears.
Thank you for being so patient with me.

Still need a pic of the stickers off the back of each style of panels that you want to use.telling me it's a 12V panel is next to meaningless, like I have a 300W peak stereo.Powerfab top of pole PV mount (2) | Listeroid 6/1 w/st5 gen head | XW6048 inverter/chgr | Iota 48V/15A charger | Morningstar 60A MPPT | 48V, 800A NiFe Battery (in series)| 15, Evergreen 205w "12V" PV array on pole | Midnight ePanel | Grundfos 10 SO5-9 with 3 wire Franklin Electric motor (1/2hp 240V 1ph ) on a timer for 3 hr noontime run - Runs off PV ||
