Are you going to cut the MC4 connectors off your panels or are you going to buy cables for both positive and negative home runs?
I was planning on getting the very expensive combiner MC4 connectors to allow me 2s2p 64V 18 amps and then buy a short MC4 cable and cut it in half. I would then splice this 10 gauge MC4 cable into the 8 gauge tinned marine wire I have already run to the solar panel area. I hate regular copper wire...turns black after a few years. The marine grade stuff is what I used for all of our wiring.
I will be updating the thread soon with new pics...I got our NovaKool fridge in and we have been building the cabinetry for it and the furnace/stove/sink. I have to plug up the holes we made to vent the propane fridge since they are no longer needed (the RFU9000 compressor fridge vents to the front). Bummer. I will just Sika aluminum over the giant holes from the inside and install the outside grills so it looks like it would have with the propane fridge.
Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to the progress pixs!!
