Good price for the #8. IMO use that! Some panels don't have wiring boxes on the back, just the wires with MC4s. (and the wire is al not cu on mine) I wonder about the store-bought with MC4 wire if it is al too :( I use the cu #8 connected to the cut-off al pigtails with wirenuts for my portable set-ups
Yes, my portables came with MC4 connectors. And the boxes (hopefully with diodes inside) look like they're sealed/glued pretty tight. So I'm just using MC4s to connect/disconnect them.
I'd just be sure that the cable you get is designed for outside runs with UV and weather protection.
