Solar Panel Mounting

Decided to mount the panels on the east side of the house in a little utility area between two fences that has the air conditioning units and the pool pump. The panels will even shade pool pump a bit. Bought two eight foot long pieces of heavy duty aluminum angle iron. Over $100 at the local big box store. More than I wanted to spend but it seemed to be a nice simple solution and an easy material to work with.

Now I need to figure out how to route the wire from the panels into the nearby garage where the controller and battery are. After than I suppose I need a better load. Thinking about a small drink fridge. Also am impressed with the Victron software. Will probably play around with Raspberry Pi support. Not exactly sure what it does but something to play around with.
