Hi everybody,
I am trying to setup a simple solar power system so I can
learn from and experiment with. I already bought a charge
controller 12V / 24V - 20A, and a small AGM battery of
12V, 17AH.
I am planning to buy a 80WP solar panel and a 1200W inverter
to complete the system.
Because I will be experimenting with the system
by wiring 3 way switches I want to put circuit breakers in
the system so my equipment does not get damaged in case of errors,
but I don't understand the math of circuit breakers yet and how many
amps I should use.
I saw on a diagram that circuit breakers can be put between the
charge controller and the solar panel, a circuit breaker can be used
between the charge controller and the battery, and between the charge
controller and the DC output lights, and a circuit breaker can be used
between the battery and the inverter.
My questions are:
A circuit breaker of how many amps should I put between the charge controller and the solar panel?
A circuit breaker of how many amps should I put between the charge controller and the battery?
A circuit breaker of how many amps should I put between the charge controller and the DC output lights?
A circuit breaker of how many amps should I put between the battery and the inverter?
A circuit breaker of how many amps should I use after the inverter to protect it from damage?
Are there special types of cables I should use in the system?
Can I connect any solar panel to the 12V / 24V - 20A charge controller or should the solar panel be 12V or 24V?
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks in advance.
