I use jumper cables to reach the portable panels set out on the ground. I have short lengths of #8 from the controller "array" terminals and from the panel junction boxes. To set up, I just use the clamps on the jumper cables.
I can add a second or third set of cables if I need longer. (like steal the 12ft set of #6 I keep in the truck)
I don't get any real voltage drop that matters with such heavy gauge wires either, which is nice.

Only thing is the red colour on the cable has turned pink from lying in the sun. :)
