Solar combiner box
Anyone made there own combiner box if so how and what did you use. Am solar has one for $80 but I am sure it can be built for a lot less.

Putting the heavyweight cable in grey Corlon conduit and across the roof to a protected location is also an option. Ten gauge cable for more than one panel connected in parallel is just too light.
Should I run 10 awg wire from the box down to the controller or bigger can't find uv protected wire in larger sizes
Interesting how some folks reject real world experience in place of their uninformed personal opinions. Your choice... I just reported what really worked.
I was thinking if necessary I would run 6 or 8 but 10 is rated for 30 amps and my 2 panels are 18.5 amps
