Wire gauge recommendations for solar extension cablesUpdated 4 days ago

The Sorein 400W Solar Panel comes with approximately 4 feet of cable. If you want to place your solar panels further away, you'll need an extension cable.

You can purchase a cable from AIR GEAR, with adapters for the XT60 input of the Sorein Power Station, and the MC4 output of the Sorein 400W Solar Panel. The AIR GEAR Solar Panel Extension Cable is 25 feet long and is made with 8 AWG (8 gauge) wiring, which is suitable for the output of the Sorein 400W Solar Panel.

If you purchase an extension cable elsewhere, is important to make sure the gauge of the extension cable is appropriate for the length of the extension. A cable with a wire gauge below the recommendation will reduce the power output, and in some cases could cause a dangerous condition.
