Solar Power System

From Last day
I spent the last two weeks near Bayfield CO with my parents building a new solar power system.
Specs:
6x 230 watt Canadian Solar Panels configured for 2 series of 3 at 90VDC
4kw Schneider Electric Charger/Inverter with 8kw 10 second surge capacity
60amp Schneider MPPT charge controller
12x 6volt 370AH deep cell batteries wired for 24volts at 1110AH

The build went smooth and everything worked on the first flip of the switches. When I left at 10am roughly 3 hours before solar noon the output was 1180Watts, almost 30 volts at almost 40amps. Not sure yet how high the output got by 1pm if the sky stayed clear.
