Replace and carry on - fuses will often blow at lower than rated currents as a result of heat build up from other sources. Make sure your terminals are tight, wire not too thin or annealed, fuse terminal gripping tightly.
December 28, 20187 yr replace and carry on. Fuses sometimes blow when your panels produce more power than rated, under perfect conditions. I get it about once a year
December 28, 20187 yr Author if i put a 30amp fuse in there would that be bad?... at present my only choice before next year

It will just blow "later", i.e. more current needs to pass through the wires for it to blow. IF there no faults in your system, it shouldn't need to blow.
