I am adding a Renogy solar kit to my nearly finished teardrop. The kit has a Renogy 100 Watt, 12 Volt, Black Division Lightweight Monocrystalline Solar Panel and a Renogy New Edition Voyager 20A PWM Waterproof Solar Charge Controller. I bought the 20 amp controller since I may want to add a second solar panel after I install a 12 volt cooler. My electrical system is only 12 volt, there is no 120 volt. I plan on running the wires from the controller to the main fuse panel, which is also where the smart charger plugs into when I need to top off the batteries at home. No fuses or fuse holders came with the Renogy solar kit. Should I provide a fuse on the positive wire between the panel(s) and the charge controller? If so, what size? Should I provide a fuse on the positive wire between the charge controller and the main fuse panel? If so, what size?
