<pre wrap="">I think we should be careful in two respects:
(1) We have found “black with white stripe” for #10 USE-2. Since we have not
had a use for anything larger than #10, I don’t know if black with a white
stripe is available for larger gauges. It seems intuitive that “black with a
white stripe” should have superior sunlight resistance than “all white”.
(2) The wire with red insulation might actually be “XLP or CPE” wire, rated
USE-2. The “XLP/CLP” is a polyethylene-based not a rubber-based compound.
One thing I like about the XLP/CPE is that it is slicker than cat shit (and
with a smaller OD for same wire gauge), much easier to pull in conduit even
for the short distances that we typically have between PV modules and the
first j-box.

It's been years since we ordered it, but we got black, red and white from
Anixter, 1-800-538-5431. Our rep Johnny X2832.
The white fades in our intense sun, but is still adequately gray/white after
15 years.

The sales rep at a wire mfr recently opined that USE-2 colors other than
black will not have the same sunlight resistance.
I had some red in the field which faded to pink but still looked OK after a
few years...but that's only after a few years, and only OK. White in the
same installation faded to...white but I still am nervous about using colors
after that conversation.
The latest batch that I bought is straight black; I believe the black stuff
contains carbon black which is the "secret sauce" for UV resistance.
Further input from the List would be appreciated.

YES. We get ours from PLATT Electric. Most electric supply houses should
have this wire. It is definitely nice for your DC source circuits.
