You will note that they have MC4 connectors on them. Those connectors are one male, the other female. It is impossible to connect them wrong because of the MC4 connectors. That is why they are there in the first place. But also, a VOM will confirm they are wired correctly.
If you use the clips as I linked above, and put them on the wrong wires going to the controller, you can end up with them reversed. Those little monsters take a bit of figuring out. :(
Once they are on you can't get them off either. The pin grabbers mean once in, they stay in. It is an IQ test. If you fail the IQ test you buy more clips!
I've got MC4's on my portable panels and my home made parallel/series connector setup. MC4's are pretty easy to unsnap even w/o any tools. I don't even need any tools, I can easily do it with my fingers. Or you can use the plastic tool made for disconnecting MC4's.
