Pine mushrooms, not so much.
My publisher probably feels differently. :)

One letter per line is a lie.
That's what makes Calgary ideal for solar.
Also, I've often picked a random city in Pacific time when setting timezones on hosts, so I guess it's going to cause me some headaches in the fall.
With the advancement of image and video generation, I think I'd have to see one in person!
MidNite has a sizing tool for this: https://www.midnitesolar.com/sizingTool/
My main issue was ensuring wire gauges were correct. One's intuition about dealing with house wiring @15A changes when you're dealing with 50A circuits. Also you need to pay attention to things like equal cable lengths between battery banks so you don't overcharge one battery in a series.
However, I'm dealing with an off-grid cabin so I don't need to deal with any grid-tie circuitry, which would make it much more difficult and I'd definitely get an electrician for that.
Right now we're limited by the charging capacity of the inverter/charger. It can only do 50A in from an external solar controller. In hindsight I should have gone with a 48V inverter/charger to get twice the power going in. On a sunny day we're maxing it out at 1200W for several hours at a time.
