Fuse, charge controller, and wires

Fuse, charge controller, and wires

This picture was taken shortly after initial assembly. So, it looks a bit messy. The fuse is the thing on the left that prevents the system from getting too much juice if there is a power spike. The charge controller, sitting on top of the cinder block, regulates the energy coming from the solar panels, and prevents the batteries from over-charging.
