Should I run 10 awg wire from the box down to the controller or bigger can't find uv protected wire in larger sizes
I used #4 as recommended by HandyBob's Solar site, https://handybobsolar.wordpress.com/rv-solar-quick-answer/ and ran the wire enclosed in Conduit. Easy purchase at any local electrical supply.
What is critical is the length of the wire from the junction box to the controller. Longer the run heavier the wire. All explained on Bob's site.
