I know that Will says he oversizes wires and solar arrays often, but I made a mistake. My system design was going to use 2 gauge wire, and I bought 2/0 wire instead.
Where would someone normally use 2/0 wire anyway? It is so thick, and hard to bend. Presume between say a 200 amp panel and a 200 amp generator disconnect box or something? It is THICK!
Also, if I were to use in my setup, I think between a battery and a battery bus bar or battery and fuse or battery and on/off switch or bus bar and inverter, but I don't think I'll find 2/0 lugs anywhere - think they are normally torqued down with screws to main panels. The wire seems thicker than the wire coming to my house from the grid for my 100 amp panel.
