Question around the use of a DC inline automotive fuses and on/off load switch on panels wired in series.
In my current parallel set up of 2 - 80W panels, I have wired inline fuses on both legs (15A) and installed a simple AC/DC rocker switch on the positive leg after the inline fuse which is off when I am making my connections to the CC and batteries, and then turned once all connections are made. Picture attached.
When I re-wire the panels into series are there any considerations needing to be made with respect to how I use the inline fuses and on/off switch which is rated at 10A @250V? Seems to me I should be able to continue to use what I have.
