We have lot of "electricians" here, who will apply house building codes to automotive designs.
They are not the same and I see a lot of car wiring carrying 20 amp over wire who looks like #16.
My multimeter has about #20 wires and during testing I had 25 amps in it.
Wire in cars are much shorter than in house and they have much better cooling, where risk of fire is much lower, so the only reason for installing heavy wire on solar would be voltage drop.
Than if you install solar regulator close to the battery, that would solve voltage drop as well.
I am not trying to be electrician here, but doing mechanical work I was forced to do lot of electrical as well.
