[VAC] Re: Don't mount solar on roof.



Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents worth into the discussion.  Thought it is
important to tell you that stranded wire will carry many times more current
than solid wire of the same gauge.  For most A/S applications, I would
suggest that you use stranded wire of at least 10 gauge.  10 gauge stranded
wire is plentiful; however, 8 gauge  is not.  I opted to use 8 gauge "well
wire" (red/green/black) for circuitry in my Safari.  I don't think you can
plan to large a wire.
