Bob, Congratulations! Apologies for the TC, but someone is taking up solar, and that`s good. The batteries will like the full charge and return the compliment. Your panels should be free of obstruction up there, even minor obstruction affects output considerably.
Have you looked into regulator(s) for the substantial output you can expect, made a choice yet? Mine do bulk/absorb/float,and once a month equalize.
