Hello, I'm working on a small solar system for a 30' sailboat. I have used Will's book and have purchased many of the components base on the books recommendations.
Components on hand ready for assembly:
50 Watt Monocrystalline rigid solar panel, Epever 20 AMP Charge Controller, Bussmann 25 AMP Circuit Breaker, two 12 volt 100 AMP DC Deep Cycle Flood Acid Batteries with MRBF Terminal 300 AMP fuses, 10 AWG and 8 AWG wire.
I plan to put the Bussmann 25 AMP Circuit Breaker between the battery bank and the charge controller. I plan to wire only one battery (the house battery) to the solar system.
Question: Do I need to fuse the wire from the charge controller to the solar panel? Thank you! All good advice is welcomed.
