Basic Questions on Solar Install
I'm finally getting rid of the generator and looking to install solar. Right now I have a 2000W inverter and 450AH of lead acid batteries. I'm looking at installing (3) 175W panels and an MPPT charge ...

24.3 Voc seems low for a 24v panel and high for a 12v panel. Double check the spec.
Take additional precautions with 75+ volts. This can bite pretty hard.
#10 down to the controller is fine. #8 is fine but seems a bit light... If buying wire I would go #6.
Fuse from the panels is not needed but can serve as a disconnect. Verify it is rated for the voltage.
Probably only need 40 amp controller unless you expect to expand.
Looks like a great system.
