What gauge wire to connect 100w Bouge RV CIGS panel to Ecoflow Delta XT60

[bcolins]

Thinking I am going to try the Bouge RV CIGS 100w panel on the roof of my VW Eurovan. Estimating I will have a 15-20 foot run of wire to my Ecoflow Delta 1300 in my vehicle (Planning of running the cables down the tailgate edge gap,..then under the car and up through some kind of access hole either existing or one I drill).

I see solar cables on Amazon that are 8,10 and 12 gauge . What would a recommended wire gauge be?

Specs are 4.4A max power, 4.7A Isc. So 5A minimum. Distance is circuit length, so distance x2, plan 30ft. 12awg. 10awg gets you 40ft total circuit.

It would be a waste, because no one stops at 100w. 200W you need 10awg, and lets you have some expansion ability.
