[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.
