C30 Solar power fuse/switch location

[kavanaughmark]

Putting my 2019 C30 away for the winter in a heated shed, but thought it prudent (after turning off battery switches, after pulling the 24/7 fuses, and turning off inverter), to also isolate the solar power. Is there an inline switch or fuse somewhere to disconnect the solar panel from the boats electrical system, and is so where exactly is it? Thanks.

If your solar controller is wired similar to mine, there should be a fuse within 6 inches of the controller on the positive wire coming from the panel. Just pull it out or disable it.

There will also be a second fuse on the positive wire coming from the controller to the battery or positive distribution. Don't confuse it with the one described above. You don't need to remove this one.

Hi Mark,

Gayle's is right. You should be able to remove incoming power with the aforementioned fuse. Hope this helps.

Chers,

Ralf

Thanks for the help, but I don't see a fuse located near the Controller. In my case, what I think is the main solar controller is located below deck in the starboard cockpit hatch just forward of the inverter. There is a bundle of wires going forward from the solar controller torwards the engine and thruster batteries but nothing thats looks inline. There is (what I think is the) a remote solar controller in the quarterberth, but it is mounted with no obvious fuse. Any other ideas? Thanks.
