paying 10.00/watt installed and
his electric rate is 40 cents/kwh he saves 0.0004$/year/Wp more if you use
solid wire. That's 40 cents per 1kW installed.
Small indeed

Thanks DAve yes I meant 2% more for stranded than the voltage drop for solid.
So the number is very small. Your example was right on.

2% loss from any resistance source over 25 years is significant.

RE: 2% loss over 25 years is significant
Amen. Sorta makes one wonder how they've allowed and accepted <50% efficient
combustion-cycle turbine plants all these years... That's before taking
transmission losses of minimum 8%. 24/7 x 365.

I just had this "debate" with a reader of one of my articles who was a ham
radio operator and a do-it-yourself solar homeowner who insisted stranded wire
had a substantial lower resistance than solid wire for DC wiring. After lots
of research I discovered he was getting this from his ham radio
Yes, that is what the code book and my electricians handbook says, but 2% is
very little. I would think that passing through a conduit hole is larger than
that.

I'm trying to understand this wire issue.
Whether or not there is a difference between stranded or

Any takers on this one?

Well there is very slight differences between AC and Dc But this difference
is so slight that it has no effect on anything we will do.
