Hello,
New to Solar and this forum. I have been watching the videos and reading what I can, buying left and right... What I am not seeing is a resource on wire size and fuses. I am starting out with a Harbor Freight 45 Watt system and my beginner course using a 12v 35Ah battery, then I have a kit (100x4 Panels, 500w controller and 2 6v batteries, plan on using a 1500w PSW inverter. eventual system will be a 24v, 800w panels, 3000w inverter via 4 to 8 6v batteries.
So I guess my hope for some guidence is the beginner system and the next system on fuses and wire size. I think the general wire is either 8G on the single battery. For the tied batteries 1G between the batteries and 4g to the inverter. It's the fuses I get confused on.
Anyway, thanks in advance.
