I am trying to figure out what wire guage I need to use between the solar panels and the inverter.
This is the panel I am using, on a Sol-Ark 15K inverter.
The issue is the distance between the panels and the inverter, it's about 80 feet.
Should I use aluminum or copper wire?
What guage should I use?
