I'm in the planning stages of adding solar to my travel trailer. I currently have a battery bank of two 6V flooded lead acid GC batteries in series that is 215 Ah 12 volts. I am planning on adding ...

And by the way, these panels have a short circuit current of 10.19 amps. I'm assuming a 10 amp breaker for each panel before the parallel connection would be appropriate, and then a 20 amp after the parallel connection to the controller, and then a 60 amp from the controller to the battery. Or will I run into issues with the breaker tripping because of that additional 0.19 amps (and 0.38 amps after the parallel connection). To be honest, I don't know how close the current ever gets to the short circuit current with regular use. However, I would assume it does not get close, as normal optimal operating current would be around 8 amps (400/48).
