8 AWG PV wire on 500 ft and 1000 ft spools, UL 4703 listed, rated 2000 V, with tinned copper conductor. Single conductor photovoltaic wire for long home runs where voltage drop matters, combiner outputs and higher current DC circuits. Sold in red and black so you can keep polarity straight from the module to the combiner.

Where it fits
Use 8 AWG for long home runs where voltage drop matters, combiner outputs and higher current DC circuits. Size every circuit to NEC 690.8 for the module Isc, then check voltage drop on long runs. Not sure which gauge you need? Read the PV wire size guide for 12, 10, 8 and 6 AWG. Also stocked as 10 AWG PV wire spools. Need it lugged? See factory lugged 8 AWG PV leads.
Rather skip the field crimping?
We build the same wire into custom MC4 jumpers, PV home runs and lugged leads cut to your string layout, with your choice of Conversions Tech MC4 or Stäubli MC4 connectors. See how to spec custom jumpers for a solar farm and the solar farm electrical hardware guide.
