All wires have a certain amount of resistance that corresponds to their diameter which will cause a certain amount of voltage in the circuit to be lost when current is flowing. High voltage drop in a circuit will cause a lower-than-expected voltage which can create performances issues but does not represent a safety hazard in itself. If a wire is improperly sized it can lead to significant loses in voltage that can cause loads to stop functioning or improper battery charging. Voltage drop must be examined for all circuits in an off-grid PV system.
