any problems in my setup??

Avoid those inline DC breakers like the plague! Those breakers are problematic as they are notorious for not being able to handle the stated current. Buy reputable DC breakers brands like Eaton Bussmann, Blue Sea Systems, or Carlington (MidNite Solar or Outback Solar). You may want to add DC Circuit Breakers to PV output. In addition to circuit protection there may be times you may want to disconnect solar panels from solar charge controller. Maybe add device for high and low voltage disconnect protection.

Also the Vimp of the solar panels would be in the ballpark of 68V so your panels probably should be grounded.
Appropriately sized fuse or breaker at battery positive terminal.
