80VDC 10A fuse?
Thinking of arranging my solar setup "the right way" - add all the recommended fuses, like PV fuse, battery fuse, controller fuse and load fuse. It works as it is, so I'm going against the rule "it wo...

Fire is bad. You go fishing, come back and your home is gone :) ... It's better to follow the rules, especially when it doesn't cost much.
Good news is - in my particular case, when I look into the "handbook" by Cooper-Bussmann that BFL13 linked on the 1st page of this thread, I see that rules - at least in the interpretation of Mr. Cooper and pals - don't require any fusing.
On the page 5 it says that if Isc of parallel array does not exceed the conductor/string Isc calculated as 1.56*(PV Isc), no string fusing is necessary. In my case the parallel array Isc does not exceed the string Isc, because there is no parallel array - only one string of 2 panels.
