8 awg Solar cable
AWG (American wire gauge) is a standard for distinguishing wire diameter, which is also known as Brown & Sharpe wire gauge. The United States has been using this standardized wire gauge system since 1857. AWG (such as 24AWG, 26AWG) indicates the number of holes that the wire passes through before forming its final diameter. The higher the value, the higher the grade of a cable passing through the hole, and the smaller its diameter.

Conductors with a larger wire number have a smaller cross-sectional area. A thicker wire has greater physical strength and lower resistance, but it requires more copper to make the cable, which makes it heavier, more difficult to install, and more expensive.
In general, single-wire conductors are sized based on diameter, while stranded conductors are sized based on cross-sectional area. Using the smallest diameter conductors (reducing cost and installation complexity) while maintaining maximum conductor capacity at the required voltage and frequency is the challenge in cable design.
8AWG solar cable for photovoltaic system connecting cable, such as group between string and string to dc power distribution box, junction box) between the parallel cable, pv modules and components of dc side series cable, between groups between string and string of dc power distribution box, junction box) crosslinking between the cable and dc cable distribution box to inverter, It can also be used as an AC application cable between inverter and transmission network.
