Why choose 48 volt if you're running everything 12 volt? Wiring them in series to run 12v appliances seems like it makes more sense, but you've done this and I'm just sitting in my armchair.
Also curious if you optimized the angle of incidence of your panels. It does not look like it. From my understanding, you'd want to optimize for the shortest day of the year, which at your latitude would be quite steep facing southward. Did you do that and have some reason why the slope is so shallow, or did you just place them and they're fine?
