I picked up 6 Talesun Solar panels yesterday (VOC-38.7 ISC-9.17 41lb 65”x39”x1.75”) for $120 cash (hence, no taxes, no shipping). I live 20 miles from the guy, so I picked them up in person. – wore my mask of course!
If you live in the S.F. bay area (he lives in Concord) he still has around 10 left that he wants to sell. For what I need to power my home, 6 panels are quit enough, in theory, as I have never experimented with home solar systems.
Anyway, my question is, reading the Spec sheet on these panels, it says that I should use a 15-amp fuse in all series panels. When you guys built your systems, did you install fuses in all your series panels? – I can’t tell, but I don’t think the fuses are built into that black box that the cables are connected too on these panels.
