Country Coach intrigue 32 ft (((((Solar install)))))

The battery Bay got so filled up I'm going to mount the sub panel and breakers for the PV lines in the bay next to it. Just run wires between the two.

I had some PV wire from my original kit which I am not going to use and buy something of better quality. So I'm using it to figure out my length I need to buy. So I do have a question. Do I want to try to have those PV wire connectors under the solar panels or can they be out exposed with some clamps. I have not decided yet if I want to try to make rods and be able to manually get on the roof and tilt those panels. Panels are not yet installed and just sitting on the brackets for now. Inside that closet where the PV wires come through I came in about 15 in from the side and once that trim piece is in the corner I will just need to put a little sheathing on a short section up top.

Much much better to have them underneath the panel and even better to have them tucked inside the C channel frame. Do you have any of the clips that mount to the panel frame? They make it easy to keep the wiring and connectors under the panel.

The circuit breakers are a great way to disconnect your panels but really doesn’t offer any circuit protection for your system.

I ran the numbers and don't need fuses.

 I used this video to determine whether or not to fuse the PV wires. This guy has tons of very helpful videos and I might just go ahead and buy my wire from him. So far I've spent $10 with them and bought all of their drawings for my layout. Well worth it.
