Finished project!

Well after all is said and done, my current installation works great. Producing plenty of energy so far doing exactly what I intended it for and more. I did go with the 100/50 Victron MPPT controller to give me room for expansion. Thank you to everyone that posted to help me along the way.Click image for larger version

Just had an anxiety attack after seeing your breakers.
Post pic on https://diysolarforum.com/ for comments.
Solar panels are high voltage DC. Needs a DC breaker (not AC) with higher voltage rating. Yours will probably arc weld it self closed. Possible fire hazard. note: DC is used for arc welding.
Avoid cheap knock off breakers from Amazon. Lots of info on the forum about that. I had a better Bussman 60A one, but did not like power (voltage) loss. I use ANL fuse now for SC to battery.
There are fuses in MC4 body.
