Solar Connectors 8 AWG and 10 AWG MC4 connectors
OK, another question...
My RV is pre-wired with 8 AWG. I have Renogy solar panels, and connectors. The MC4 connectors are for 10awg or 12awg (see http://www.renogy-store.com/MC4-Male-Female-Cable-Connector-p/cnct-mc4.htm).
Suggestions? I can't even find 8AWG MC4 connectors. I see pre-built lengths of solar wire with MC4 connectors on them on Amazon, but my RV is already wired with 8AWG, so I was hoping to use that. Is it safe or even possible to use 8AWG and put it into a MC4 connectors that are made for 10 or 12AWG?
