solar fuses
What fuses are you guys using to connect you solar panels to controller and controller to battery's?
Forum Discussion
Fuse or switchable breaker on both the Panel side and the Battery side
As Tech Writer and others stated protection is only one of the reasons I always install both. Another is the simplicity of system isolation, flip a switch or two and the controller is completely isolated. Morningstar MPPT controllers require a hard reboot (power disconnect) after firmware downloads but typically not configuration changes. A switch with a fuse in line or a switchable breaker makes it very easy.
