Solar MC4 connectors - needed? Why?
I'm in the early planning stage of doing a solar install on our fiver. I see the MC4 connectors and combiners are commonly used, and I wonder why, and if there is a reason why I could not just solder...

Thanks for all the comments. I'll probably be moving pretty slow on this, but now I have the points to consider.
I was dreaming of an array of 4x100W panels while sitting at my desk. So thinking of 2 in series x 2 in parallel. But when I actually climbed up on the trailer and considered the space I have to mount them, I'm probably only going to fit 2x100W. Cutting an extension cord in half makes a lot of sense.
