This is my system

3   6000XP's in Parallel
3   EG4 280Ah Batteries
43  Sirius 415W Panels
4   Solar Array circuits
1   Generac 24kw Gen (If all else fails, for battery recharge)

It was a learning curve.  No contractors involved, just me and my family.

System looks awesome. I went with 3 ea. 6000xp's also instead of a larger inverter

Thanks for the replay. 

I went with the 3 XP's for redundancy.  Did not want all eggs in one basket.  A little more planning and panel wiring is required, but I think it is worth it.

I am thinking about adding another EG4 battery. (I left space for another set to the right of the last panel) With the number of panels I have, on a sunny day like today in late October, the 3 EG4's I have are full by 12:30 pm.  I would still have another 2.5 hours of good solar production that is not currently being utilized other that powering the house.  See image below.  I don't really need the extra battery this time of year but come August or January in Alabama with cooling and heating an all-electric house, the extra capacity will come in handy, I think.
