Busdriver320 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Hi all , I am putting solar panels on my garage roof at some point in the future - 7 kw plus battery . I am currently having the electrics re laid from house to garage . I have been told by solar install companies I will need cable from house to garage for solar . Might as well do this while electrics being re laid / hole is dug . What cables am I Likley to need ? Thanks I advance . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 You need to work out the voltage drop over the distance and make sure it is within limits. <2% drop I think. Your electrician should be able to tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
