Fusing panels in Parallel

[resechalex]

Looking at putting 2 panels in parallel then putting into microinvert. Do my panels have to be fused separately to protect them from shorting each other? Panels are 245w trina panels short circuit current is 8.68a. Attached data sheet of panels.

That will depend on the max series rating. Probably don’t need fuses, because probably not exceeded, but I put breakers on them for troubleshooting and system shutdown.
