Setting up system - Please Advise

[jelliott1458]

Greetings,

I have recently decided to make my pickup truck a camper. Long story short I only need to run a fan and some lights.

I have done a lot of research on setting up a solar system with deep cycle battery and have put together a system and I just wanted to get a 2nd opinion to make sure everything looks good.

The lights are each 0.16 amps x 6 - 1 amp per hour.
The fan ranges from 0.2 to 4.7 amps with setting 1-10.

Lights:

Fan:

So if I run the fan on high and all 6 lights for 10 hours (which will not happen) that's 60 amps over 10 hours. From not wanting to discharge an AGM battery past 50%, I figure a 100AH battery will do me just fine.

So here is what I have decided on:

2x 100w Renogy 12v Panels and a 20A MPPT Charge Controller:

My questions:
1. Will I need fuses anywhere? The Renogy panels come with 10AWG wires that go from panel to controller and controller to battery. There are no fuses. Will I need a fuse that goes from my battery to the fuse box? Doesn't it already have a built in fuse?

2. Wire size: Kit comes with 10AWG wires for panel-controller and controller-battery. Is this also safe to use from battery-fuse box?

3. Is there anything else I'm missing? Hopefully this isn't a "build the system for me because I'm lazy" post, I tried to do all the research myself. I have zero experience in electrical work.

every circuit should be fused.
1. no fuse built in add one.
2. yes 10 gauge should be good for your lite usage.
3. I would recommend against those cheap fuses you linked to. go with Bussman or Litelfuse. the blue sea fuse box is an excellent choice. highdesertranger

The solar kit comes with the panels and a CC. There is a 20ft 10AWG MC4 Adaptor Kit, an 8ft 10AWG Tray Cable with the system, if you needed to add a fuse in between the panel-cc and cc-battery, you would need to purchase additional cables, which defeats the purpose of a kit doesn't it?

Will pick better fuses.

Ok, so doing more research has led me to realize I'll not necessarily need, but should have 30A fuses in between each item. Easy enough.

I think I've pretty much got everything figured out. Thanks for the help...
