Team; With the move to larger cells, some modules have an Isc that is pushing the limits of 12 AWG wire. If I apply the rule of 156% (or 125% solar derate*125% continuous load derate) to an 18 Amp Isc module this will exceed the 25A that a 12 AWG wire can carry. I understand that the homeruns will need to be a larger AWG (10 ga), but do the solar module cables (from junction box to MC4) also need to be larger? Any guidance or reference material would be greatly appreciated.
