Neat project! I just finished a daylight basement remodel, the corner of which is my new office, and I learned a lot of the same lessons. GRK screws are super nice. Rock wool is way nicer to work with than fiberglass. Expanding spray foam can go into lots of nooks and crannies to make a space feel less drafty. Chalk lines marking the studs are a great idea.
One lesson that I'll add is that a dry wall lift (https://www.amazon.com/Drywall-Lifter-Rolling-Caster-Constru...) changed my project from "nigh-impossible" to "totally doable". I hung almost a 1000 sqft of drywall on the ceiling solo with that thing. Even if I never use it again, it was worth the money.
Now to go read all of OP's solar design posts to prep for my next project.
