Helpful Expert Reply:

No, when adding additional panels like the Go Power Solar Flex Eclipse Expansion Kit # GP77MR in parallel, you do not need a fuse for each panel. Since the panels are connected in parallel and then go through the charge controller before reaching the fuse and battery bank, you just need the one 30 amp fuse.

I have included a picture showing this.
