Wolf Creek 850 Solar Install

Nice set up, Nolan. We are also looking into solar, but may wait still the spring to install. The weather where we are is rain rain rain everyday in the winter. We don't want to risk drilling holes into the roof and then get water leaks.
What size of wires did you use to replace the OEM 12-awg wires?
What are mc4 connectors? can they be hooked up directly to the cable you show in the picture?
Thank you it is so nice to have. I did not replace the OEM wires just the wires that run from the panel to the controller. The wires that go to the batteries are OEM so I kept everything the same size. I thought I would need more watts but right now everything is getting charged back to 95-98% everyday, except for the snow camping we did for a couple days. We brought the generator and it worked fine. Mc4 connectors are like quick connecters, google them and you can see what they look like. The tricky part was crimping the 2 connections on the wire I installed from my solar controller to the solar panel mc4 connections.
