These are the eight added panels, bringing me up to twenty-four and a supposed 5040 watts.

I say supposed because to date they're running a bit lower power-wise compared to the other sixteen panels. I thought at first it might just be that they have more connections and longer wire runs, but two of the other sets have just as many if not more wire/connections to push power through.

(When I started this experiment I had eight pairs of two panels - which were then ganged into four sets of four. Rather than run still more wires down I combined two sets of pairs into two quads, freeing up two sets of wires for the new panels. Down below only two pairs get ganged together as the other four come down from the roof as quads.)

And you can see the shadow of the small tree that will soon get 'topped' so it doesn't shadow my panels as the sun goes south for the winter! (And behind it two houses down is a huge pecan tree that shadows my roof the first hours of the mornings ...)
