Solar panels installed without Circut Breakers

Had four paneles installed, and I provided the equipment, they left out circuit breakers (2). I am bringing it back to installer, is this a big problem
  • This would be a circuit breaker between the MPPT and the batteries? I wouldn't sweat it.

    Of course, you paid the installer to do it and they didn't - so you should get what you want/paid for. It's your rig.
  • Hi,

    I never put in circuit breakers in my solar system. I have a pair of 45 watt panels, pair of 120 watt panels, and single 75 watt panel. Total of 405 watts.

    I don't think it is a big problem. Now if mounted on a house, then the inspector thinks it is a big problem.

    Fred.
