Solar panel to combiner

If I run separate wires for each solar panel individually into a combiner box, do I use the feet and amperage of each individual panel do determine the correct wire size? The combiner box will put them together into serial.

Re: Solar panel to combiner
You might be confused on terminology, as you do not need a combiner box to connect panels in series. With most panels available today you need only plug them together (+) to (-) using the polarized MC4 connectors on the end of each panel's wire leads.
