I see people recommending using a circuit breaker between the solar array and the charge controller and I'm not sure why.
Is it true that solar panels can be shorted without damaging them?
If a breaker were sized above the short circuit current of the array (Isc) what scenario(s) could cause it to trip?
If all we want is a way to disconnect the panels from the controller, we could use a simple switch....
