Thanks for the help. I ordered two 15 amp Midnite solar MNEPV breakers, a big baby box, 100ft of 10 gauge PV wire and MC4 connectors and a few Heyco strain reliefs for NAZ.

OK. That simplifies the installation. I plan to protect each panel with a 15 amp ATC fuse. Do you see any issues with this?

I believe the panels have diodes, but could not visually confirm. They appear to be potted/concealed in a rubbery-like material. I attached a photo. Can you explain "The open circuit voltage will take care of power flow"?
