I'm configuring my Newpowa 180W 12V panels in a 2S2P array for a max 720W of output, connected to an EPEver Triron 4210N SCC.
The panels will be mounted flat on the roof of my travel trailer and we prefer shaded camp sites. In the interest of mitigating fall risk I plan not to climb on the roof routinely and will not use tilt mounts. The result will be that (I think) I'll usually be under max power, which is why I'm over-paneling.
I'm taking advantage of Black Friday to buy the last small parts for my solar system. One of those parts will be a switch or breaker for the solar panels. Do I even need circuit protection? I think not, but I want at least a switch for convenience. What do you suggest I use for that circuit?
Panel specs: Vmp 16.77, Imp 11.20, Voc 19.84 and Isc 11.75.
SCC limits: max Voc 100V, max Isc 40A and max PV array power 1560W @ 12V.
The SCC manual states that it can handle up to 3x rated charge power (520W) after which damage will ensue.
