Hi, I am just wanting some recommendations on a basic microinverter (with safety cutoff protections built in). Essentially, 'balcony solar.'

Just to make sure I am hooking things up properly/safely, lets assume I'm beginner experience level. I have a basic understanding of the general concepts, but not much real world experience. The two panels that I have are 100 watt panels. I've attached a picture for reference:

That module is really low powered for modern microinverters. I only know about a small subsection of the market, but I don't know any that will work with voltages that low.

Edit: you could probably run them in series to get a more usable voltage. 200w combined and 48Voc on a single DC input will be easier to find.

Battery fuse per-string and also main parallel fuse both required?
