Busdriver320 Posted March 13, 2023 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 .
SteamyTea Posted March 14, 2023 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.
