1 mm2 in area would be the equivalent of US #17 AWG.
1 mm diameter would have and area equivalent to smaller than #18 AWG. Either of those would be too small for 10A on a long term basis.
Now the fact that the wires are getting noticeably warm/hot does not by itself meant that you are losing a lot of power, much less half the power, but in this voltage sensitive environment (single panel in particular) it is not a good thing.
