When the kitchen drawer of used plastic grocery bags is full...

Well, its the right way. PV wire is rated to be in the open air from the panels to the combiner box or other enclosure. It is UV...

What is your system battery voltage?

That is a very normal scenario for shipping solar panels. LTL companies dont want to wait for you to unpack an order and not all trucks...

My experience is mostly with ANL fuses. The cheap plastic bodied ones are trash, they almost always blow prematurely and the material...

Midnite Solar SPD. It takes up no breaker spaces. Comes in different voltages as well. AC, or DC voltage available. Edit: Signature...
