Okay sir. So is it adviceable to use aluminum cable for short distance of less than 15metres. Thats from the panels on the roof to the charge controller. Thanks.
Guy you missed this explanations. The reason for using aluminium is bcos of the cost and weight and its a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Its mostly used for ac or dc bcos if the weight. you will notices sagging in aluminium despite the fact that its light in weight as its been used in low voltage distribution and its prone to oxidation and sagging . Infact its a poor conductor when its comes to DC transmission bcs of I²R and voltage drop along the transmission line. Pls alway consider the fundamental principles. If not standards of most materials that has been compromised , you can only compare alloy of copper with aluminium cable.
At first I wanted to disagree at first.but the truth is the white one this things but we in Africa no wan explore beyond what we know...E.G in wiring every house we use copper...but all NEPA wire from hight 33/11 and what enters or supplies our house from pole is aluminum...
So because of this your one time experiment you want us to believe that Al is better than Cu. Know that all metals too has their purity level and that will affect their conductivity. If you have pure copper and pure aluminium, copper will perform better. Copper is better than Aluminium on heat, that is why it is best for motors and generators And mind you, transmitting 12v for 15meters, you will surely get losses either for AL or CU. That is why the battery to inverter cable is as close as possible. I will ask you if your battery to inverter cable is Aluminium, if it is, then i rest my case.

You are right
Bros u are right that is what I use for my hux is long I no it

Nope
I would like to experiment too and find out what works best

Bro, Can that Startimes 2Kva power generator carry my electronics of 700 watts from 6PM TO 12AM midnight.
You have to give the rating of the battery before anyone can know if it can carry for that 6 hour period.
Gold conduct better than silver bro.
