Fusing solar panel arrays wired in parallel.
Solar fuse box.
Midnite solar mnts fuse holder 1000vdc 30 amp max din.
The size of this fuse is dependent on how many solar panels you have and how they are connected series parallel or series parallel.
Commercially made solar panels over 50 watts have 10 gauge wires capable of handling up to 30 amps of current flow.
This means each series needs a fuse breaker placed in the combiner box as shown here.
