Additional Notes:

The roof is a "east & west" roof with strong shading toward the front of the house. Because of this and our needs, the 24 of the panels are on the westside mounted as close to the back of the roof as possible eliminating shading. The other 8 panels are on the eastside as close to the peak as possible. I found these panels soak in a ton of solar in the morning hours while the strong morning Florida sun is working to the 12 o'clock position. Knowing the position of the roof, I am glad we put the bulk of the production on the westside. Once the sun crest over the peak, the 24 west panels take in a ton of solar.
