Hi All..
I'm completely new to this forum and to solar systems... But very excited.
I have a questio, I'm sure it's an easy one for you...
I have 4 230 watt panels I intend to connect to 1 grid tie inverter in parallel. My first question is: Do I need to run 8 cables (10 gage, aprox 30 - 40 feet each) or is that a waste and I shuld run only 2 sets, or, what's recommended for this situation?
If less than 8 wires will be used, should I get branch connectors?
How OK is it to not use MC4 connectors and solder and isolate cables oneself?
Any comments about the length, quantity, gage, and all that, or about anything else, are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
