No fuse needed from panels to controller. You can short the wires all you want and they will not get hot or do any damage to the solar panels. Although you may want a switch to cut solar power from the controller for service. A removable 30 amp fuse would be fine or a resettable 30 amp circuit breaker.
If the connection to the battery is protected and in plain view I would skip the fuse. If subject to damage or goes through hidden areas then about any fuse is fine but 60 amp rating would be normal. This fuse should be close to the battery positive terminal.
Controller install instructions have this info.
