I slept, dreamed, and contemplated and came up with this method of wiring my 4 - 100w Mono panels. The panels each have 5.29 A at best position of sun to panel at best. I was going to wiring them all in parallel, but that would give me 21.16 A to the controller. According to everything I've been reading, and some various tables with 10 guage wire as supplied by Renogy, I may have a considerable heat loss giving me a lot less amperage due to wire size. If I had gone series there would have only been 5.29 A flowing at best with #10 wire no problem. So here is my compromise. Out of the four panels I will do two panels each in series and run those in parallel which would give me 10.58 A flow with the #10 AWG supplied wire. My technical question is, will the #10 AWG sustain the 10.58 A with little, if any loss? And two parts here, If I go parallel with all four and have 21.16 A would I have to upgrade the cable from the solar panels to the controller to #8?
