[size=x-large]Critique my new solar installation[/size]
I need to reverse my solar panels from two poly Renogy 50 watt ground mounts (with adjustable brackets) and two mono Acopower 30 watt fixed roof mounts to two poly Renogy 50 watt roof mounts (MC4 Y connected) with adjustable roof mounts on a custom (for TC NO drilling into roof) roof rack and two mono Acopower 30 watt adjustable bracket ground mounts.
The two roof mount Renogy 50’s feed into a 20-amp controller using the wire (10 gauge?) that came with the 50-watt bundle into a single group 24 marine 12v battery.
The adjustable Acopower 30 watt ground mounts (modified with hinges as a suitcase) feed into a 10-amp controller (came with the 50 watt Renogy bundle) into the same battery as above.
To complete the project I need primary wire for the twin 30-watt ground mounts, a windup reel, and a quick disconnect between the “Y” and the primary wire and maybe another fuse at the battery.
My thoughts on the primary wire was 50 feet of this Bullz Audio BPES12.50 50' True 12 Gauge AWG Car Home Audio Speaker Wire

ALEKO H212 2 Pin Quick Disconnect Harness, Weather Proof Connector, 12 Gauge, 12 Inch

And finally do I need a separate fuse from the 10A controller to the battery or can I just tie both controllers into one existing 30A fuse?
PS the location of the 2 controllers to the battery is less than a 3’ run.
