I am using solar panel that can deliver 5.5A each, for 4 panels the total is 22A, can this cable handle this current?
1590570
Yes. This cable can handle up to 600/1000Vdc .Whats the wattage on each panel? Are you running these panels on Series or Parallel connection?I will also recommend this 50ft 10 Gage copper cable if you are running this kind amps.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008JHXF4O/ref=pd_aw_sims_5?pi=SL500_SS115&simLd;=1
1590571
Yes, that's what it's made for and it's exactly what I've got hooked up - 4 panels in parallel to minimize shading issues
1590572
I've got 4 panels of up to 7 amps each pumping at over 30 volts its doing ok, doesnt get warm.
1590573
yes i have them chained together having 35 amps above 30 they do get warm so i wouldn't go much more then that
1527655
no I dont believe it will handle the current it is rated for 15?amp max at most

it goes by the span of the run so the longer the strech the thicker the cables shoulld be,if its close to the inverter and dont have a constant 5000 watts u should be safe , listen up you have to put a buss fuse in the pos cable around 150 watts,you can find it here on amazon.

Yes, I am busy using it to indicate the charge coming from a bank of solar panels. I am going up to a max of 42A (using the 200A shunt) - it does not seem to give a reading at low currents e.g. 1A but once it goes over this it is pretty accurate. I am using the battery that I am charging as the supply and it works fine.

I've had as many as 4 strips connected together with one power supply with no issues. The power supply has a limit of how much power it can supply based on the amount of amps each strip needs, do the math (using specs), and plan accordingly.

The only thing to pay attention to are the specifications of the four 120V NEMA 5-20R outlets on the delivery end of this cable. Each of them is capable of delivering a maximum of 120 volts at 20 amps or less of current. The actual wattage will be limited by the capacity of the generator that the cable is connected to, i.e., volts times amps equal watts!
1902506
It depends on how many amps you need. The solar panel can only out put a maximum of ~1 amp and 26 volts
1466785
You should be able to. This cable has a 10A rating, and as far as I know that means it is capable of safely pushing up to 10A through it. It is possible that I have incorrect information but hey, I've had the cable for about a year now and my house hasn't burned down so at least there's that.

I purchased this same inverter with hope to use 4 Renogy 240 watt PV panels. It could work but you need to add up the total Amps output for each panel which was 7.7 x 4 =30.8 amps. you will need to have a circuit breaker that will handle this amount of Amps or your circuit will trip. I decided to use different technology. Good Luck with your project.

Assuming each panel might put out 12 amps at full sun, 6 x 12 = 72 amps. The meter literature says 100 amps rating, 50 amps continuous. Problem is the wire gauge is 14 - so you can't run much wire length (less than 5 feet or 2 meters)at that 50 amps. Borderline. I don't think this will work for your application with that many panels/watts/amps.
974747
Yes you can however you will need a controller capable of handling both panels. Most small inexpensive charge controllers handle 7 amps or less. Two 60 watt panels will produce more than 7 amps on a sunny day.

I'm guessing that the solar panel is the "Source" and the charge controller is the "Load". If so, if the panels are indeed putting out 335 watts, and the voltage is 16.65V, you should be drawing 20 Amps. Perhaps it is a poor connection, or the charge controller is not allowing any current to pass through. If you have a standard multi meter, you could measure the current by allowing the red wires to feed through the meter. (be careful, many meters can't measure more then 10A, and if indeed 20A are flowing, that could burn out the meter.)I use my Watt's Up meter to measure drain from Li-Po batteries connected up to brushless motors and it works great.

My panel is about 17 inches by 21 inches...the cable looks to be about 10 to 12 feet long. I use a 7 amp solar controller, works great for me.

these cables should handle any of your charging needs.2 gauge will work fine for the load your talking about, but the 1 gauge will handle applications in excess of 400 amps if necessary.
412103
Yes it will. You should go by the amperage of the controller, of how many panels you can put on it. 2-30 watt panels put out about 4 amps and have plenty of amps to add on more panels. But make sure you are going positive to positive and negative to negative to make your 60 watts. I put 2-130 watt panels (Equals 260 watts) with the same connectors. I am putting out a little over 16 amps out of the 2-130 watt panels. What size of cable are you using? 12 or 10 guage cable. The farther you are from the panels you should use the larger guage.

I am using this with a Grape 250 W 30.7 V solar panel with no problem. On clear days it is not unusual to get over 33 V. This has no problems with it. I'm certain I could put another in line and still be fine.

This is a rough guess but, 6x35ah is 210 total Ah, and if you have 100w panel/ 12v it's about ~8 amp max. But I find mine realistically charges about 5 amp hrs per hr. So 210ah/5amp is 42hrs of charge time. so you prob have 7-9 hrs in day of good charge, so 42/~8 is at minimal 4 panels... I live in midwest and have less sunlight per day. But I think 4 is about minimal. I work more with electrical consumption than I do with battery charging so someone else might have better charging math, but I am familiar with electrical systems. Hope this helps and sorry for all the math, just wanted to back my answer. Good luck.
