Solar wiring question
Currently I have 2 100 watt panels on top of the trailer (VOC 21.6 volts, ISC 6.34 amps, VPM 17.4 volts, IMP 5.75 amps) with a 30 foot run of 12ga wire to the charge controller. Last fall my system...

EDIT- scraped the strands and it turns out to be tinned copper, so not aluminum.

The pigtails on these are aluminum. I found that out when cutting mine short. Of course, I cannot verify that other brands do the same thing for their pigtails.
Good to know you can get the long wire that is copper.

Note in that link they have the electrical data for the mono version, so ignore that. They have the poly version (I now have two of them)
