Zulu Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Anyone using REC panels? If so, can the panel’s stock 12 AWG wire be changed to 10 AWG? Or are the panel’s wires fixed in place?

oldjohnt Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Hi Zulu, sorry NO I haven't, but have thoughts on your question: I guess with proper quality non resistive and RELIABLE splicing techniques sure wire can be changed or totally replaced at the source, HOWEVER: thats 1) Adding one more potential problem 2) Possibly voiding a warranty 3) Given such a SHORT DISTANCE and assuming the design was adequate ?? I doubt much advantage in reduction of Line Voltage Drop if that's your reason and concern ????????? Sure in longer wire run from panels down to controller line voltage drop can be reduced using bigger cable, better talk to and clear it with the manufacturer, it's probably NOT something I would until it was approved. John T NOT any solar expert, see what they have to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
