hamkid Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Need to install solar.

WME Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 A simple matched system. Get the 30A controller . It will let you grow your system with out getting a new controller. It will work with 2 more panels and another battery. Remember reducing power consumption is as important as extra power panels. LED lights and if you "need" a TV get a flat screen. Those are the 2 biggest power drains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamkid Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 Should I buy any of these with it? https://www.windynation.com/Switches-Breaks/Windy-Nation-Inc/WindyNation-Solar-PV-MC4-Connector-In-Line-Fuse-Holder-w-Fuse-10A-15A-20A-30A/-/1242?p=YzE9MjI= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Won't hurt. Mount the fuse close to the solar panel. FWIW my roof is fiberglass and the cable run is in wood panels so Ive never fused the panels. The battery YES fuses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 With the solar panel itself a fuse is not necessary but anything else connected to it yes. The normal test for current is to deadhead the panel yes a dead short with a current meter. Multiple panels series wired yes it would be a god ideal.
