    I have an Axpert remote panel with cable and module (to connect network cable at inverter side?).
    Never been out of box but a bit dusty. Free to new home.

    Appreciate all the good advice given, thanks. Here is some feedback:
    My goal was to limit what i take from Eskom and to provide backup power for loadshedding. 
    I opted for 8  x 470W on the (new) north facing roof on one string.
    They were the largest of my stock and nine would have taken the Voc max too close to the MPPT Max input for my liking.
    The others were split with 8 x 330W in a N/E orientation and 8 x 300W facing NNW. these two strings were paralleled on the 2nd MPPT.
    Results were quite good. The NE facing picks up the sun first and starts to supply/charge the batteries.
    The North facing provides supply for the house and bulk charge for the batteries.
    Those NNW provide power as the sun goes down delaying the onset of battery discharging.
     
    I'm not quite off grid but my metered consumption is about 20% of what is was pre-solar.
    The main DB is configured with most loads going to the inverter with Oven, dishwasher & microwave remaining on the metered supply. I will probably change this.
    Peak solar supply has been 6.8kW so far. In the graph blue is the North facing  and green the East/West array.
    Thanks again to those that helped me here
