4mm PV cable

I am vaguely planning making one of solar strings mobile. Wondering if any of you guys have 15 to 40 mtrs of 4mm PV cable left over? Happy to pay a decent price here rather than to an online shop?
I obtained a load of used 2x2 & 3x2 out of which I'll build a skidable frame and I'd rather buy someone's dust covered leftovers to keep in with the reuse & recycle ethos. The length doesn't really matter as even down to 10 Mtrs of cable would let me play about. TIA.

Didn't Mr Gus have some left over?

There was some going about but it was finally used up on the job itself.
I'm OK buying from online but i'd rather stick a few quid in a pocket on here than there.

Gareth "I have about 75-80m of 4mm cable that will be left over from a job very soon. Only arrived a week ago. Pm me if you'd like details of spec and a price including delivery." same thread

He needed it all as the job dynamic changed, decent of him to offer though. Thanks Billi.

Jury's out as to whether I need it or not! I am loath to rewire unless I really have to so am hoping to switch inverters out to see if an existing one I have works how I want it to - but that might take a day or three so, Joe, best not wait on my decision.

I'm not in THAT much of a hurry. Just thought I'd throw the idea out there and see if I hooked a dusty part reel of 4mm. Best of fortune in the build!

I should have some spare. I'll let you know then I'm installed. I just bought a 100m reel instead of trying to work out what I need, but my garden isn't very big, so expecting a surplus.

That is very kind of you Smeagal, I actually finished that job last week. I am sure there will be somebody else DIY planning here and happy to convert cash to cable. Thanks again.

How much left?
My Scottish jew sensibilities have to warn you, "I only pay wholesale"
what brand are we talking?
