For runs under about three metres on a 200W array, 12AWG is fine. Go longer than that, or up to 400W, and 10AWG is the sensible choice. When in doubt, the heavier cable is the cheaper mistake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGetting through the roof\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese leads terminate in solar connectors, which are chunky. Plan the cable entry gland around the connector size, or thread the cable before fitting the connectors. Cutting a gland too small and forcing the plug through is how roof leaks start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasure the full route — up and over the roof rib, down the wardrobe, along the floor — not the straight line.
