Hey, a quick question for all you guys who HAVE installed solar before;

What size wiring do I need? The panel maximum output is 8 point something amps. I figure that 14 ga is used all the time for home 15 amp circuits, and I already have some stranded red and stranded black in 14 ga, so I'm planning on using that.

Any reason to do anything OTHER than 14ga wires? (And no, I'm NOT planning on adding more solar panels to the roof of the swingset in the future.)
