Do I need string fuses for two parallel strings?

Usually not. With two strings in parallel, a fault in one can only be fed by the other, and a PV module is current-limited, so fault current cannot exceed a single string's short-circuit current. IEC 62548-1:2023 ties the requirement to whether reverse current exceeds the module rating. Three or more parallel strings normally do need fuses.

Can I use an AC circuit breaker on the DC side of a solar system?

No. AC breakers rely on the current passing through zero a hundred times per second to extinguish the arc, and DC never does. An AC device asked to interrupt a 1000 V DC fault can sustain the arc and weld its contacts closed, leaving a circuit that looks protected but is not.

Where should the string fuse be installed, at the modules or in the combiner box?

In the combiner box, on the string side of the busbar. The fuse protects a string against current fed backwards from the other strings, so it has to sit between the string and the parallel connection point. Mounting it at the module end places it outside the fault path it exists to interrupt.

If my inverter has an internal DC switch, do I still need an external isolator?

Often yes, for access rather than duplication. An internal switch isolates at the inverter, which does not help a technician working at the combiner box or on the array cable. A lockable external isolator gives a visible break at the point where the work happens.

Should I replace a surge protective device when the status window turns red?

Yes, and treat it as urgent. A red window means the varistor has reached end of life and the thermal disconnector has isolated it, so the circuit is running unprotected while looking normal. On pluggable designs the cartridge swaps without disturbing enclosure wiring, which keeps the site visit short.
