Commercial solar pv panels over 50 watts or so use 10 gauge awg wires.
10 gauge wire for solar panel controller.
Electrical wire which is the same exact thing as solar panel wire is categorized mainly based on it s conductor type.

These are the two basic wire types.
If multiple panels are combined in parallel then a three to eight awg combiner wire set is generally needed to safely transfer the power to a charge controller or gti.
Don t forget these are 10awg and will not fit into a smaller charge controller and he will need to cut the cable down make it smaller and loose some wiring and conductivity to get this gauge wire to fit the smaller 20 amp controllers.
This allows up to 30 amps of current to flow from a single panel.
If it has a single metal wire core it s a single stranded conductor and if it has a multiple wire core it s a multi stranded conductor.
