Sorry, couldn't view the cable because of a pop up cookie agreement over it.
Most solar panel cable is 10 gauge, UV & abrasion resistant for outdoor use. If you have another cable that meets the exposure ratings it will experience AND is of adequate gauge to not cause too much loss or dangerous overload, it should be OK.
Cable going underground has a different water resistance than above ground cable (conduit / duct is assumed to be 100% wet location)Powerfab top of pole PV mount (2) | Listeroid 6/1 w/st5 gen head | XW6048 inverter/chgr | Iota 48V/15A charger | Morningstar 60A MPPT | 48V, 800A NiFe Battery (in series)| 15, Evergreen 205w "12V" PV array on pole | Midnight ePanel | Grundfos 10 SO5-9 with 3 wire Franklin Electric motor (1/2hp 240V 1ph ) on a timer for 3 hr noontime run - Runs off PV ||
