which wire to use for a small solar system

[dafoink]

I have a small 50W solar panel and an HQRP solar controller. I want to put my battery and controller in my garage that is about 100' away from the panel. Does anyone have a suggestion on which wire to purchase? I am looking for something that would be outdoor and would be nice to have both positive and negative conductors wrapped together so that I don't have to zip tie the wires together.

best regards,

There are numerous voltage drop calculators available on line and I believe there is a link in Mike 90250's signature line.
you want to keep voltage drop less than 2% 1% being better.
You will need to know the operating voltage of the panel or Vmp and Imp or amps of the panel at full power.
It is a 200' round trip.

For some of my applications I use wire that is intended for low voltage lighting systems. I think its 10 gauge stranded copper wire. The wires are attached together and UV resistant. Works great for me.
