Hot to touch fuse (solar) UPDATE
I've installed my solar charging system myself. I have it fused both from panels to controller and also from controller to batteries. Wire gauge used was 8awg. I've just recently noticed both fuses...

I think the problem is the lack of surface area on the small fuses and in the (cheap) holder itself. Car audio amplifier equipment is pretty high quality as some require 100+amps so im hoping this change will help. Im changing to a maxi type fuse, and the controller manual states 60amp maximum size fuse so i am going to install a 50amp fuse from controller to battery. 2oldman, you are correct on the panels to controller fuse. even in the controller manual it doesn't specify putting a fuse in that connection. One reason why it put it in is that i wanted either a switch or a fuse i could yank out so that i could easily disable the panels if i wanted to.
