My off grid system is currently being built:
6 130Ah lead acid 12v batteries
6 100W monocrystalline panesl
60 A (true) MPPT controller
12 x 1 ft 4/0 cables (post to 5/16)
4kw(8kw peak) inverter (2/0x2 each polarity)
Main issue now are fuses and busbar.
I assume a 4-500A busbar would be appropriate.
But I have no clue as to how to connect each battery to busbar through fuse.
Are there *affordable* busbars that include fusing provisions (assuming 150A slo-blo per battery) .
Or, if this is not practical, plans to build such a device?
I have found a :
Many thanks in advance. This is my first post here!
Also, and possibly OT to this thread:
Are there any plans out there to use battery temperature sensors per battery on an I2C arduino setup to disconnect the panels and load if charge/discharge becomes excessive?

I have found a :
Victron Energy® CIP050060000 - 500A 6-Way Fuse Block with Busbar
On ebay, but is this acceptable? Post heights seem short.Many thanks in advance. This is my first post here!
