business involves repairing poor PV solar installations on
recreational vehicles. So often we wind up installing a
roof junction box and running a second PV to controller
wire and then replacing the controller to battery wire
size. For instance, we may find a 10 gauge wire run to the
controller. We then add #8, #6, #4 or even 2 gauge and
parallel to the #10 depending on power and distance of the
run. My question: Is there a calculator or chart that will
tell me what the combination of any two wire sizes equate
to? example: #10 + #4 = X</span><o:p></o:p></p>
