Hi Steve. Thanks for the double check.

Wire I used is similar to Romex in shape but is stranded albeit a
coarse strand; wire with more strands would have been easier to work
with. I asked vendor of this kit (who is deep into solar stuff and
does installs) if this underground/sun rated wire was ok to run from
panel to controller then to battery and he said "yes".

Neil.
