Negative & Positive Busbar

What size positive busbar and negative busbar be efficient enough for use with a 400 watt solar system and with a 2000 pure watt sine wave inverter? I'm trying to clean up my electrical and don't want 3 positive wires going to my battery lead. Thanks.

The inverter will draw 150 to 200 amps when on high. That calls for 2/0 cable. You need a quality marine bus bar. rated for over 200 amps. I use Blue Sea https://www.go2marine.com/product/24...-terminal.html
