100 watt solar charge regulator.
Terminal block for solar panel.

The second fuse between your solar panels and charge controller is a little bit different to figure out.
In order to keep cable losses to a minimum pv panels are connected to strings thereby increasing the system voltage.
Terminal block wiring is achieved using screw connections spring clamps insulation displacement connections idcs or tab connections also known as blade or spade terminals.
The solar panel array i built won t work in the winter where i live we get only about 6 hours of daylight and the sun never gets more than about 25 degrees off the horizon.
Two soladeck er terminal blocks are needed for each string passing through one for positive wire one for negative wire.
The size of this fuse is dependent on how many solar panels you have and how they are connected series parallel or series parallel.

That s one problem with using solar in the winter at high latitudes.
Blocking diode in a solar panel is used to prevent the batteries from draining or discharging back through the pv cells inside the solar panel as they acts as load in night or in case of fully covered sky by clouds etc.

Anyhow thanks for your article.
Set the volt meter to read dc volts.
Handles up to 50 volts or 10 amps.
One way diode prevents current from leaking from your battery back into the solar panel where it is dissipated as heat depleting your battery.

In short as diode only passes current in one direction so the current from solar panels flows forward biased to the battery and blocks from the battery to the solar panel reverse biased.

Because solar panels generate dc electricity only terminal blocks that have passed a partial discharge test for dc voltage are suitable for safe use in photovoltaic systems.
A simple voltage reading will show you the polarity of a solar panel even when inside.
Terminal blocks in pv applications although standard products can generally be used in the ac area of solar systems a more specific approach is required for the dc area.
They include actuator blocks fuse blocks ground circuit terminal blocks sensor blocks i o blocks power distribution blocks disconnect blocks and thermocouple blocks.

Another way to find the polarity of the solar panel is to check with a volt meter.
Install in the junction box in the positive line one diode per panel.
Off load voltages of pv systems can be up to 1500 v dc.
Terminal blocks are modular insulated devices that are manufactured to accept a range of wire or conductor size.
If the panels are connected in series the voltage of each panel is added but the amperage stays the same.
For example the 0799 5 enclosure can hold a maximum of 16 er terminal blocks which would allow pass through of 8 circuits.
0799 2 is a 2 position ground block for wire sizes 2 0 14 awg.
