On a dual-input microinverter feeding two panels, the second module is frequently a full panel-width from the unit, and two metres routes that comfortably with slack for a service loop at each end. It is the default answer on ground mounts, where inverters mount to the torque tube and modules sit above and across.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOn buying spares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCable length is the single most common thing to get wrong on a site survey, because nobody measures the routed path — they measure the gap. The path goes around the frame, under the rail, along the tube and back up, and it is reliably longer than the drawing implied. Carrying a couple of two-metre leads turns a return visit into a five-minute fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePractical notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRoute along structural members and secure with UV-rated ties; do not let cable bear on the module frame edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeep positive and negative runs together rather than separated — large loop areas between conductors invite induced voltage during nearby lightning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeave a drip loop so water runs away from the connector, not into it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlso available in 1m, 3m and 4m.
