Ok Guys, (here is where I start getting confused),
I have to run 2 panels in series=1 string, times 2 strings,(4 panels)
Then parallel these 2 strings into a final run of 1 neg wire and 1 pos wire to the CC.
The OEM panel wires are about 36" long and 10 ga wire,MC-4 plugs.
I would like to keep the loss to 1% or lower, if possible.
Would it be best start with 8/10 ga wire (have both sizes) at the end of 36" MC-4 OEM connectors when making the series and parallel connections, of these panels?
OR use the 8/10ga wire at the end of the parallel connections for the final run to the CC?
Do I need to balance this series/parallel wiring of the panels, meaning all wiring is the same/shortest lengths for the series/parallel wiring,etc.
Tia,
Don
