Lol, yeah, I'm pretty addicted you could say. Looking at my usage, I'm almost where I need to be now, but winter is coming... Last 30 days:

House consumes an average of about 100 kWh a day, and the shop building around 200 kWh. The reason the shop consumed to much is that I run crypto mining rigs there during the summer. In the winter, I move them up into the house and they provide all the heat I need, so I don't have to run my heat pump at all, no matter how cold it gets outside.
Here's a daily plot from all 8 inverters from 8/28 when it was mostly sunny:

I do have shading on one of the arrays in the AM as can be seen from the bottom graph that all of a sudden jump up at around 11:30 when the sun is able to hit the entire panel. The array with the shade is the lower of the two hillside ones. The upper one is casting a share on the lower one. I'm kicking myself now for not realizing that was going to be the case when I placed the poles for the arrays. But live and learn I suppose.
Since I have maxed out the 50 KVA transformer, and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to convince the POCO to upgrade me again (it was free the first time since I was mining a lot more and pulling close to 25 kW during the winter and summer was coming, which meant even more power draw once I started running the AC).
My next project will be to take the house semi-off grid. What I mean by that, is to get 4x of the EG4 6500s along with maybe 30 kWh worth of battery storage, and then wire it up as follows:

If the grid goes down (and it does at least a couple of times a year and last for several hours or even days), when the house can run on batteries and the generator can kick in when the batteries get low to charge them back up given how I plan to wire in the 6500s per the above diagram.
Since the EG4 inverters are not grid tired, I don't have to worry about pushing the 50 KVA transformer past its limit. Using opensolar.com, I believe I'll be able to fit 53 455 watt panels into the roof of the house:

With 4 EG$ 6500s, I'll have 8 MPPT inputs, so that should work out pretty well with the 53 455 watt panels giving me around 24 kW.
I live in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and really enjoy the views. Here's a shot from the house looking down at the arrays surrounding the shop:

Wife feels the solar arrays ruin the view, but I think they are beautiful, lol.
