Wiring is important. Why? The appropriate wiring will depends on the amount of amps you will using for charging and discharging. Solar wiring is the same. The appropriate wire gauge and fuses will prevent a fire. You will need to know the voltage and electric current capability. So what size wire do I need?
If your using a 30 amp solar controller, than you will need 10 gauge wire. If you are using a 50 amp system, you will need 8 gauge wire. That is the quick simple answer. I went to Lowes and purchased 8 gauge wire. You may also pick some up at Windy Nation on Amazon.
Also, I used 2 gauge wire to connect my batteries in parallel. I used 6 gauge for my pure sine wave inverter. I will cover this more soon. I just wanted to mention it as part of my solar set-up.
