Looking for feedback on my design layout before I start installing things

I recently purchased a complete "DIY" system from Northern Arizona Wind & Sun and the parts have (mostly) all come in. Now is the time for me to roll up the sleeves and begin the installation, starting with the basement in this antique barn I call home. While waiting on the parts to arrive, I took it upon myself to carefully measure the space I have to work with and have created a design that I plan to implement barring any revisions from the advise I receive from this forum (see attached photos). While I will install & hang all the components, I plan on hiring a licensed electrician to do the actual wiring & commissioning.

With some feedback this forum, as well as others, I've updated my basement inverter/charger/battery layout.
- The CMU wall itself is always dry due to the way it was installed INSIDE the foundation, so no dampness there.
- I've added fuses between the batteries and the inverter/charger.
- There will be no back-feeding to the grid: the primary use case is as a "Mini-grid/UPS".
- RJ-45 cables are no longer in the wireway/raceway.
- There are DC and AC breakers inside the Outback -- I assume that would suffice?
The goal is to start installing things this weekend.
Thanks!
Michael
