Pv panel wire

Featured Replies

Hi guys  I am new to Solar .

Busy getting all myvstuff ready 

Need some advice  is iti compulsory to use only double insulated wire from panels to invertor. I do have good quality dc cable .but the 2 wires are togerther in the same sleeve. Multi strand 6mm sq .

Just afraid of magnetic field as a friend mentioned that it affects your invertor .

 

 

PV wire is rated for harsher environments, like being outside. It should also be UV resistant and have a flame retardant. In addition to that it is rated for higher voltages.

So to answer the question - do the right thing.

Not a requirement. You try to keep the cable as short as possible because of losses. But they dont need to be the same length.
