fuse in the battery compartment?
One last issue with my solar install: The controller manual says the fuse needs to be no more than six inches from the battery terminal. That would locate it inside the battery box under the steps...

Fuse location depends on what it is protecting.
In this case it is protecting the wire.
In other cases it could be protecting a motor, so then you want the fuse close to the motor, which could be at the end of a wire a long ways from the source, battery or main panel. So here you would have 2 fuses, one at the panel and the other at the motor.
