For every 100 watts of solar panels you have on your roof, you should have around 75-100 amp hours

-500 watt inverter should have a 50 amp fuse -1000 watt inverter should have a 100 amp fuse

A 50 to 100 amp fuse will be ideal, but check the instructions of the fuse block to see what it recommends.

-500 watt inverter requires 10 gauge -1000 watt inverter requires 4 gauge

If an appliance draws 20 amps, use a 25 amp fuse (20 x 1.25 = 25)

A solar panel that is producing 5 amps of electricity at 20 volts will produce 100 watts A solar panel that is producing 2 amps of electricity at 40 volts will produce 80 watts A small fan consuming 10 amps of electricity at 12 volts, will be consuming 120 watts

Watts: The total “power” produced.

Typically 8 gauge wire is used if the charge controller is 40 amps or less, and located less than 10 feet away from the battery.
