These charts provide exactly the information that a beginner needs before they purchase the items for their first solar system. I looked for charts like these for a long time and these are the best I've seen. I am now purchasing the correct circuit breakers. I was 10 amps over which is huge. Watch the video which has excellent information by clicking more information and click on go to download for all the charts and more information on wire length. I've attached the charts below as well.
I have a 48 Volt solar system with 4 panels in series which saves a lot of cost in wiring using 10 gauge wire for a 1500 watt inverter and my 60 amp charge control is capable of 3200 watts. Just know using 48 volts there is a greater potential of getting shocked. I'm am told it can happen if your hands are damp. It hasn't happened to me but I'm careful. When connecting to your inverter you want to use a resister. I just use a light bulb which works good. Not using a resister can nock out your capacitors. I'm no expert but I wish I had these tools when I started. I looked long and hard for this information. Hope it helps you.
