Rich Solar 10 Gauge (10AWG) Cable Wire Connect Solar Panel to Charge Controller (Red & Black)

The Rich Solar 10 Gauge (10AWG) Cable Wire Connect Solar Panel to Charge Controller Set Runs Panel Power Straight to Your Controller Terminals

The Rich Solar 10 Gauge (10AWG) Cable Wire Connect Solar Panel to Charge Controller (Red and Black) is a pair of 10 AWG solar cables made for the last run of a solar install. Each cable has a pre-installed solar connector on one end for the panel and a bare wire end on the other for the charge controller terminals.

The cable is UL 4703 solar cable rated for 1000V DC and 30A, with an IP67 rating and a 25-year service life. Choose a 10 ft, 20 ft or 30 ft set to match the distance from your panels to your controller.

Rich Solar 10 Gauge (10AWG) Cable Wire Connect Solar Panel to Charge Controller Features

Solar Connector on One End

The pre-installed solar connectors plug directly into your panel leads, a Y-branch connector or an extension cable. There is nothing to crimp on the panel side.

Bare Wire End for the Controller

The other end is bare wire that lands directly in your charge controller's PV input terminals. That makes this the cable that finishes the run from the array to the controller.

10 AWG Cable Rated for 30A

The 10 AWG tinned copper conductors are rated for 30A and 1000V DC. Tinned copper resists corrosion better than bare copper, which helps in RVs, boats and outdoor installs.

Built for Outdoor Use

UL 4703 cable resists moisture, UV exposure and corrosion. The cable carries an IP67 rating and a UL94 V-0 flame rating and operates from -40°F to 194°F.

The Same Cable Rich Solar Ships in Its Kits

Rich Solar includes these cables in many of its solar kits, such as the 20 ft RS-20101 and the 30 ft RS-30101 set, so a replacement or longer run matches your existing wiring.

Real-World Applications

RV roof installs. Run panel power through a cable entry housing and down to a controller inside the coach.

Cabin and shed systems. Bring a ground or roof array into a controller mounted next to the battery bank.

Boats. Connect deck or bimini panels to a controller below deck.

Replacing or lengthening kit wiring. Swap a short run for a longer set when you move the controller.

How It Compares to Common Alternatives

Versus an extension cable. Rich Solar's extension cables have solar connectors on both ends for joining two leads. This cable has a bare end so it can land on the controller terminals.

Versus making your own cable. Pre-installed connectors save you from buying a crimp tool and connectors and reduce the risk of a loose or poorly sealed connection.

Versus thinner cable. Thinner wire costs less but loses more power over long runs. 10 AWG is a common choice for solar runs carrying up to 30A.

Is This Cable the Right Fit

• Controller terminals. Confirm your controller's PV terminals accept 10 AWG wire.
• Current. The cable is rated for 30A. Keep your array's current within that rating.
• Length. Choose the shortest length that reaches. Longer runs have more voltage drop.
• Set. Each option includes one red and one black cable.

This may be a good fit if

• You need to connect solar panels to a charge controller
• You are replacing or lengthening the cables from a Rich Solar kit
• You want a solar connector on the panel end with no crimping
• You need outdoor-rated cable for a roof, deck or ground mount

Common Questions

Which End Goes to the Charge Controller?

The bare wire end connects to the controller's PV input terminals. The solar connector end connects to your panel or panel array.

Is the Length Per Cable?

Yes. A 20 ft set includes a 20 ft red cable and a 20 ft black cable.

Can I Connect This Cable to an Extension Cable?

Yes. The solar connector end plugs into Rich Solar's 10 AWG extension cables if you need more length.
