Direct answer
4mm2 solar cable is commonly used for module string wiring and shorter rooftop runs where current and voltage drop stay within the project limit.
The size is popular, but it should still be checked against run length, ambient temperature and allowed voltage drop instead of selected by habit.

FAQ
Is 4mm2 enough for all solar panels?
No. It is common for many string runs, but current, distance and voltage drop decide whether 4mm2 is suitable.
Can OmniSol quote 4mm2 cable with MC4 compatible connectors?
Yes. We can match cable size and connector range in the same RFQ.
