Wiring Loss
The ohmic wiring resistance induces losses both in DC – between the modules and the inverter – and AC – between the inverter and the step-up transformer. The wire gauge (AWG) should be selected

DC Cable Losses In PV Systems It isn't possible to eliminate losses in DC cables – if a current flows then there is a loss of energy. The only thing we can do is to minimize the loss as much as possible.
Losses in solar PV wires must be limited, DC losses in strings of solar panels, and AC losses at the output of inverters. A way to limit these losses is to minimize the voltage drop in cables. A drop voltage less than 1% is suitable and in any case it must not exceed 3%.
PV system losses have a substantial impact on the overall efficiency and output power of solar panel arrays. Good solar design takes into account 10 main PV losses, while best design and installation practices help to reduce solar cell power losses. It's an unfortunate fact that solar panels are not too efficient to begin with.
Although solar modules may function for up to 50 years, panel degradation accounts for approximately 0.8% power output reduction each year. What Is The Approach To Reduce Losses In A Solar PV Power Project? A quick glance at the check-list of solar PV losses will confirm that most are associated with design issues or component characteristics.
