We already have the solar controller TriStar TS-45 ([manual](https://2n1s7w3qw84d2ysnx3ia2bct-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/TS.IOM_.Operators_Manual.04.EN_1.pdf)) by Morningstar.
## Wiresand Connectors
Our 1000W and 24V solar system (5x 200W Sungoldpower panels) will have a peak current of 40A. As the average current will be around 30A or lower, however, a [2 AWG cable](https://www.rapidtables.com/calc/wire/2-gauge.html) for the distance of 10m (30 feet) will be appropriate.

A T branch connector to connect the five panels in parallel would be ideal.
