    Does the wiring actually matter? The max output for the solar should be drastically less than the pull from a hair dryer. Normally the hair dryers less than 7 amps at 240v, but the solar should be half that at most right?

      You‘re right. It’s actually a poor example. In Germany it’s reduced to 600 and 800W or 2,5 and 3,33A.

      However, the constant current might be an issue for old and thin cables. Working as a resistor and heats up.
