Here is my setup thus far.

Four 300 watt panels - 2s2p. ->
20 amp switch (near controller) ->
controller ->
7.68 kWh battery bank 24v ->
100a breaker (near positive battery terminal)—>
24v 2000 watt Samlex inverter

also will have 100a shunt near negative battery terminal for the battery monitor

Am I missing any fuses or breakers?

I will ground the panels with a grounding rod. Do I need to ground the inverter as well?

edit
The controller and inverter will be in my garage. Can I ground them by running a cable to an outlet (Thus using the house ground)?

I’d also like to know if I can use the victron 100v 50a controller with my setup.

edit
According to the Victron support page, I can use this controller with a 1200 watt array.

Please post the specs for the panels, picture of the label on the back or link to a web page that details them.
