I already had a transfer switch for critical circuits in my house, but I never owned a generator. I bought a pair of Ecoflow Delta Pros with the Dual Voltage Hub and it works great.
Today I caught the sale at SanTan Solar and got a great price on 10 (minimum order) Canadian Solar CS6P-265P. The plan is to use 8, 2 strings of 4 in series, so each string will max at about 1000 watts, 122 volts, 8.6 amps and each set of 4 will charge 1 of the Delta Pros. I'll keep the extra 2 panels in the garage for now as replacements, unless I can figure out how to get them in the limited space I have.
I've got about 100 feet to cover from panels to where I need the MC4's to connect to an MC4 to XT60i cable for the Delta Pros. Those adapters seem to only come in 12 AWG.
Should I buy the 100' of cable in 10 AWG even though the last few feet will be 12 AWG, or should I do the whole thing in 12 AWG?
Thanks!
