Have installed a Renogy 100w on roofrack, Charge controller is Renogy Voyager 20 amp, feeding the house battery.
went with 10AWG wire from panels to controller and controller to battery.
I am re-looking at options where I drilled though roof (panel to controller) and am thinking of installing a SAE panel port there, so I can dismount the panel if needed, and to provide better weather seal than I probably did.
Problem, I can not find a 10awg SAE weatherproof panel mount anywhere. Have located plenty of 12awg ones.
So, what is impact of using the 12AWG just at that location, splicing into the 10AWG run?
At present, only running 1 100awg panel.
thanks
