Is there a reason they only give 3' of wire with this compared to the one with the solar control that is 13'???

I can't really say. I suppose if you're getting the solar panel with controller, they assume you're going to be charging a battery on the ground, with the solar panel elevated. If you're just getting the panel, you could be doing anything with it .... and the length of wire would vary. Just a guess.

Depends on the company. There is no written rule on how many feet of wire that they should provide. UL solar provides a decent amount of wire with there solar panels, but other companies it may vary. 3 feet seems to be the standard. Sorry if this did not answer your question....

My panel is about 17 inches by 21 inches...the cable looks to be about 10 to 12 feet long. I use a 7 amp solar controller, works great for me.

It's not very long; probably 4 ft or so. I would say, it is quite pricey for the length. I wish they would offer a longer one.Yes, you can pull out the wire in the from pretty much any part between the ends.

The unit comes with 3-4+ feet of wire. I would NOT extend it due to the fact that the connection may not be good and false readings may be given. just my 2 cents

The directions that come with the solar controller tells you. Basically, they should be as short as possible, 2 feet max.Next, AWG should be 6 or 8. That comes right out of the owners manual which you should have received with the unit.

I think it's about 6 feet and it is a very narrow black wire. I have my numbers posted on the wall just above my garage door and installed the solar unit on the side of the eaves at the roof line so it would catch direct sunlight earlier. The wire had ample length for me to do that.

It is about 5.5 inches. Adding more wire is possible by way of additional but connectors.

I could not find cable for sale that would connect the two. i purchased an extension cable for the solar panel, cut one end off and attached it to the controller.

You would have two wires (I use #10 copper braided wire) coming from solar panel to controller then two wires from the solar controller to battery.

Hi CCFlyer1, For the size it's NO. They don't have the same size. For the wiring please refer to a professional installer. Thanks. &gt;Joffrey

Assuming u mean to the hood it's probably 12-14 foot, there is extensions sold by hydrofarm and probably others but u don't want it too long cause you loose power along the way I've found.

not long enough for 14 feet. maybe you can get an electrician to add length to the hard wire and then you can add length to the chain by buying a few more feet of it at home depot or something.

Mine is closer to the 3ft than the 10 ft other answer. But mine stopped working after just one year so I don use it anymore. Disappointing.

The wire is 12 or so feet long. it is permanently connected to the solar panel, but has a small plug on the end, that connects to the light. Therefore, it is quite easy to place the panel outside, while the light is installed inside a small structure.

Yes, the wire that extends from it is about 3ft and as it comes, you would wind it through the chain and cut it to the length you wish.. If you don't want a chain, install it flush to the ceiling and cut the wire accordingly.

i'm using mine on standard wire size that is on the solar panels.,not sure what that actual size is.,if you need it i will check the wire tomorrow.
