Well, I have mounted one Solar World SW-290 panel on the roof of our PM. Got the cables to the inside through a Renogy cable entry housing via the backup camera housing. That all worked well. Now that the cables are inside the van it is time to get them to the 30 amp MPPT controller. What I need to decide on is do I use a fuse or a breaker between those two and does it matter if it is closer to the panel or closer to the controller. I actually cut the Amphenol H4 connectors off of the + and – cables coming from the panel. That so that I could pass the cables through the Renogy housing. I have 10awg solar cable that I plan to use to extend those cables to the controller. Soldering and shrink tubing is the plan for now.
Choosing what type of fuse or breaker to use and where to use it has me at a stand still. Any advise or recommendation for specific products will be welcome.
