Flexible Solar Panel - Will This Wire Cause Problems
FedEx just delivered my 100W flexible solar panel. I noticed this wire sticking out. Do you solar gurus think it will cause issues/problems down the line when it's out in the weather?

Hi BFL13,
Have you tried it with an extension cable?
No, but I see your cunning plan. It is so crazy it might even work. :)
I had my Solar30 right by the batteries (photo somewhere) so it made no difference to ambient. I am still unclear on the whole internal/external battery temp business for temp comp, but I don't really care either! :) I don't need temp comp where and when we use solar.
My Solar30 is not in use since I sold my 130w panel and am now strictly an MPPT guy (Sob!) Maybe someday I will return from the dark side and get to use that Solar30 again. I like it a lot.
I am unclear on just what the OP has, but it seems similar to the Solar30. It ought to have a user's manual and she ought to have read it. :)
However I did get my "RJ Special" (fake MPPT too) delivered last year with no manual although it was supposed to be in the package. Its manual was on-line so no big deal. (I sold that with my 130w panel to a guy camping here and that little $13 controller is still going strong.)
