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've just recently noticed both fuses get very warm when charging say 10-16 amps. Fuses I have installed are 35 amp fuses. I have ordered car audio fuse holders and hoping maybe that will fix the heat issue. Wires themselves are not even warm. Anyone have this problem?
Very reason not to use fuses; high resistance connection between fuse and fuse holder generates heat(from volt drop). Breakers are much better. Look into Midnite Solar.
