I've made a few small changes to my plan - the battery sets are about two feet from each other and will be connected by 4awg wire.

All connections are crimped, soldered and wrapped because I love using my torch. I so rarely get to play with it.
So I'm thinking 30amp fuse on the panels and 40amp fuse on the batteries. Does that sound right?
