Question: I do not see an inline fuse in your system description (maybe I overlooked it). Did you use one (or more) and where did you put it (them)?
Do you have a wiring diagram for your system?
Craig,
I responded to your PM before I saw this post so I'll copy my reply here as well:
Because I wired my panels in series, the 10 awg wire that came pre-installed is vastly sufficient to transmit the most energy the panels could possibly generate, so I opted not to fuse that portion. I probably should have a fuse between the controller and the battery, but again, the wire is really oversized for the length of run and energy that's capable of being produced by the PV. I'm probably just being lazy and I wouldn't tell you not to fuse your setup... but really a PV array of this size can only generate so much energy. Just my two cents.
I had a really nice complex wiring diagram for my last rig, but this one is so simple I never bothered to create one - especially since it's not connected to the truck. Just remember to connect the negative of your solar to the load side of the BMV shunt and not the battery!
Cheers,
Eric
