How Do I Fuse My Solar Panel?

Question:

Another winning video on YouTube!  Should we consider adding a solar disconnect and/or a fuse between the solar panel and the solar controller and/or between the solar controller and bus bar? I'm thinking a fuse or fuses to prevent overload from a power source and a switch for when the panel is covered and we are working on the electrical system and want a greater sense of safety? - George

Answer:

Hi George, you definitely need a fuse between the battery and the solar controller.  - Jeff
