 4.   [Tray Cable (THHN-PVC)](http://www.wireandcableyourway.com/Tray-Cable-THHN-PVC/)

 Our customer Rich in Texas used our [12/4 Tray Cable (THHN-PVC)](http://www.wireandcableyourway.com/12-4C-THHN-PVC-Tray-Cable.html) to help install solar panels seen in the picture above.

 Here is what Rich had to say:

> This is a 17kW solar array -- 68 250W panels w/ Enphase inverters that I installed myself over a two month period. Panel strings are connected using Wire & Cable To Go #12 TC-ER field cable.  The system is expected to generate 24,000 kWh a year and reduce our carbon impact by 35K pounds a year. – Richard Boller
