Hello, I did my very own off grid tiny system in my home (thanks to this forum that helped, by the way) everything works fine, but lately I wonder if I needed to add a fuse/breaker to this system. My system is solely with the intention to power path lights outside my home and I think the charge controller has a fuse right?
Solar Panel is 50w - 12v.
Cable is 10 AWG pure copper low voltage landscape wire.
Charge controller is a Victron Smart Solar 75-10
Battery is a 12v LifePo4 20ah.
Load is 8 lights, each one takes 3w.
I might upgrade to a 30ah and 100w panel in the future if I add more lights. My question is, do I need a breaker/fuse for this? And if so, where and how big? Thank you in advance. I am still learning, so it is hard to understand this.
