I have the same question, except that I've already bought my panels and mini split. I plan to use a 12 amp fuse and see what happens.

I'm about to install my first panels and a couple of the EG4 solar mini splits. In preparation, I've been trying to educate myself on grounding and wiring to help mitigate lightning damage. I came across a couple of articles last night that had info that I hadn't read before. Would love to hear...
