Hi,
The inverter is a bit small. I'd got to 1500 or 2000 watt. Running a device "flat out" is not a good thing. At least one member burned out an inverter by doing so.
Fuses should be "at the capacity of the wire".
The dc breaker from the solar panels is too small. If my batteries are hungry I get 17 amps from 256 watts of panels.
The wire from the solar panels is on the small size unless all four panels are in series (which I do not recommend).
