Solar Panel Connectors 10AWG Compatible with MC4 Connecter to SAE Adapter PV Extension Cable Wire for RV Caravan Solar Panels Battery Charger kit with Two SAE to SAE Polarity Reverse Adapters

Product Information

When we got our 550 the suitcase choices were too expensive for my taste so I bought an inexpensive panel that would fit in our small TV. When looking at kits you can see details of the products included with the links in the Specification tab. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable). and the adaptor is very easy to connect your solar panel chargers and the other battery chargers with the SAE connectors.

SAE connectors can get snug to seat fully, which is a good thing as opposed to being sloppy and sliding in easily. This allows me to use the same power cord I use for shore-power between my solar panel and my trailer. I cut off the ends of an heavy duty extension cord --- the female end, I attached that to the twistlock which goes to the camper.Unfortunately I don't think there is ever a perfect answer since it's impossible to know the exact future conditions you will find yourself in. Just in case you need more to think about - you might consider not purchasing the solar controller with the panel and locating a controller in the trailer.

You must insert the two extended posts on the end of the tool into the side of the female MC4 connector. The other consideration is the gradual loosening up of the pinch action as they are connected and disconnected repeatedly.

Being a novice at setting up a solar system, I had many questions along the way, and the team at Sun Powered Yachts were always there to answers my questions and provide support.

This solar SAE connector extension cable is10AWG, the pv wire is made with high quality Tinned Copper Wire. Most solar panels don't have SAE connectors, they use MC4 connectors so you will need an MC4 to SAE connector cable.

I don't want to use a polarity adapter at the hub to switch, too complicated and another failure point. But I think for the amount of time I would be charging on the road, getting something over 13 volts to the battery in the field will be adequate. All that said, I agree with you in that I prefer a folding suitcase setup rather than one larger panel. That way you can use less expensive wiring (such as THHN rated insulation) inside the electrical conduit to cover greater distances at substantially less cost than the MC4 cables. To determine an item's service and warranty coverage in your country, please contact the manufacturer.

One type accepts two male MC4 connectors on the input side and has a male MC4 connector for its output. For example, if your modules are rated for 18 volts at maximum power (Vmp), then two of them connected in series will measure 36 Vmp. Since I can easily swap the polarity when installing this is not a big issue but I will have to remember the connector/polarity of the cables will be reversed. MC4s seem to be used more on heavier gage wire (lower resistance) than SAE so if you have a long run in dusty or morning dew/rain wet area out over a few days, so the advantage is to MC4. Once you've got the two modules connected in series, you need to use MC4 cables to bring that power to wherever your electrical equipment is located (usually a circuit breaker and a solar charge controller).If you're asking this question, you've probably noticed that most modern high power solar modules are manufactured with wire leads that have latching connectors on the ends. The Contact is crimped onto the wire, then the lock ring is placed on the wire before the housing is placed over the contact. Generally, the female MC4 connector is associated with the positive lead and the male connector is associated with the negative lead.
