Circuit Protection and wire Sizes for Solar LED Lights

[lefeverj]

After this knowledgeable forum I believe I have what is needed for voltage drop and etc but I would like for other peers to review:

panels: 200w, Vmp 34.4, Lmp 5.82A 24VDC
batteries: 12vdc wired in series for 24vdc with 105aH
120vac 10A charger for batteries when there is no sun, wired in parallel to batteries with solar charge controller
solar charge controller rated for 20A
Light: 80 watt 24vdc LED

distances:
between panel and solar controller: 11 feet
Between solar controller and batteries: 7 feet
between solar controller and led lights: 25 feet
between ac charger and batteries: 5 feet

wire:
between panel and solar controller: 12 awg
Between solar controller and batteries: 10 awg
interconnect on batteries: 8 awg...could I use 10 here for the interconnect?
between solar controller and led lights: 18 awg
between ac charger and batteries: 14 awg

circuit protection:
solar panel == 5.82A x 125% == Breaker Size == 8 amp 24 dc breaker == do I need to protect??
Light == 3.3A x 125% == Breaker Size == 5 amp
batteries == same as lights since this the current draw?? == 5 amp
do I need one for the ac charger?

You should make the run between the controller and lights much larger like a #12 or #10
That is the longest run you have and the smallest wire.
There is no need for a fuse between the panel and Charge controller Fuse both + & - of the battery and that should take care of all fusing.

how about the interconnects -- can I use 10 awg there?

You can use as large of a wire as you want providing it meets minimum requirements of NEC. For example if you use say a 20 amp fuse minimum size wire is 12 AWG, but you can use a 1/0 if need be to meet voltage drop requirements.

About this kind of problem you can use anything as long as they are compatible.

That is a BS reply and not correct. Please use caution about nonsense replies.
