6mm² single core is the size most installers settle on for the DC side, because it is the one that survives distance. 46 A of capacity, and 7.3 mV/A/m against 11 on 4mm² — a third less voltage lost per metre, which is what you are buying when the array is on the roof and the inverter is two floors down in a store room. Class 5 flexible copper, 84 strands of 0.30 mm, 3.30 Ω/km. Drawn on the Pilone line in Lahore.

Check the coil before you pay for it
Every coil leaves our factory with a QR code printed on the packaging. Scan it and the factory record for that batch opens: brand, cable size, batch number, year of manufacture and conductor. Compare the batch number on screen with the one printed on your coil — if the two do not match, it did not come from us.

Worked example, from the voltage-drop figure in the table. A 20 A DC feed over a 40 m route from a rooftop array down to the inverter loses 20 × 40 × 7.3 ÷ 1000 = 5.8 V. The tabulated 7.3 mV/A/m covers both legs of the circuit, so the route length counts once, not twice. The same run on 4mm² would lose 20 × 40 × 11 ÷ 1000 = 8.8 V — three volts more, for the sake of about 18 kg less copper per kilometre (53.3 against 35.6). Once a DC run passes roughly 30 m it is the drop, not the amps, that picks the size.
The positive and negative pair from a roof array down to an inverter on a lower floor, where the metres force the size before the current does.
Two or three strings joined into one run, 24–36 A, still inside the 46 A this conductor carries.
Ground-mount and commercial rooftop arrays where the DC side is longer and the current higher than a house system.
