Phew what a morning. Taking all the advice, i hiked down and unhooked that old Siemens array from the HF controller. Then found another Epever Tracer Mppt down there, same as the one in the cabin. Then remembered i had an unused wire cable running up to the cabin. So i jumpered the array to it and hopped in the 2wd cart i just got going again to head back up. First corner up the hill one of the rear tire chains i put on years ago rolled off the inside and locked up the brake drum, wouldn't move. Walked up the hill got in the 4wd cart with jack and lug wrench, drove down and pulled the wheel off. Drove back up, still 34v from the array. Found an old dead battery with 9v in it, hooked up the SCC for a test. Says .4 amps, array in a bit of sun.

Here from the cabin deck you can see the array down there. Also the HF panels, which i will connect to the HF controller. Guess i will connect the second Tracer scc to the cabin bank as a helper.

Still got to put that wheel back on the cart down there…
