FYI anyone doing this should look up gauge requirements - 10awg is way overkill for 100w - you only need 14 (since it's <10amps). The math works the same as in-house wiring. Also why I ran my two panels in series - they're nominally 12v panels, so that's 24v at 200w = 8 amps max, so 14awg is fine (and the whole setup puts out more like 50 volts in the sun - why you need a solar charger).
Not only are higher gauge cables a waste of money, if you end up running them through the headliner and around corners, the smaller gauge the easier time you'll have installing.
