I need pv wire for a 2 ground mount arrays
first is 150 ft distance from inverter with 2 strings at 240v voc and 17amps so thats 4 wires total of 600 ft
second array is 125 ft away with 2 strings so thats 500 ft
windy nation offers extension cables at 150 ft but the reviews all seem to think it is not the awg advertized for either the 10 or 8 awg cable
should I just buy 500 or 1000 ft spool and put a mc-4 on 1 end myself ?
voltage drop at 240v and 17amps shows under 3pct with 10 awg, under 2 pct with 8awg. I am thinking to go with 10awg to save $$
what pv wire is recommended by folks here ?
thanks
