David,
Each application may require a different kind of wire. The Monitor wire is probably small current flow, 16 gauge or smaller like lampcord. The solar panel probably requires heavier wire, # 4 or larger like jumper cables? I'd follow the manufacturer's recs and buy that type, a little longer than estimated.

I have to run some new wire for a solar panel and the tank monitor. I was at West Marine yesterday looking at wire and I had the option of duplex wire or single strand wire. The duplex was significantly cheaper per foot since it included both wires instead of buying each color separately. But I notice that nearly all of the existing wiring on the boat is single strand. Is there any reason not to buy a spool of duplex and just split the enclosing shield for the few times I need only one wire? Dave
