I have a backyard workshop powered by solar panels. Some of the panels are about 30 feet away from the shop and I’ve run cables in conduit underground. I wanted to add a couple more solar panels but did not want to dig the trench for another conduit. This connector let me use the existing cables to connect the new solar panels in parallel with the existing ones. It saved me the cost of running another cable and the work of digging another trench. I really like the individual cable connectors which don’t require a tool to disconnect. They are IP68 rated so no worries about water penetration. Tinned copper connections further reduce the concern about corrosion.

I’ve been recently getting into adding some solar into my home for powering some specific use cases. I started with a single panel but realized rather quickly that more is better so I bought another one. I initially hooked them up in series and that was dandy until some shade hit one of the panels and poof both effectively were shaded. Wanting to fix this I knew I needed a parallel adapter and turned to my shopping buddy, Amazon. Within no time I found this connector and ordered. It’s been in use now for a couple weeks and has been working perfectly. In fact it works better than some of the other connectors because it has built in squeeze lever thingies to allow tool less (often) disconnection of the MC4 connectors. I didn’t realize at the time how much I prefer this and will be trying to order some of those style MC4 connectors to replace the existing ones I have.As mentioned this has been working fine, I’m not pushing massive loads through it or anything just forty volts and four hundred watts. With those levels it's well inside the safe tolerances. I’m glad I ordered it, no complaints.

This is a professionally built cable assembly that is intended to be used in the installation of solar panel arrays. The connectors are of decent quality and are properly crimped and secured to the cable assembly. These is strain relief provided at the point where the wires are joined and they will not be coming loose. The wire is properly insulated and is clearly marked with specifications. The connectors and the wire junction assembly are marked IP 68 for water ingress. I could have built this myself but I would estimate that project would have taken me a big portion of my busy day. This is easy to install as the connectors just click together and each connector has an o ring to keep the connections dry. This cable functions well and is worth the asking price. Recommended.

Doing a lot of Solar work, I have a good amount of experience with many different brands and styles of solar connectors/combiners. Compared with others that I have come across, I see some positives and negatives with this connector:Positives:- I prefer this style (all in one) to the individual positive and negative combiner cables. This style looks more professional and reduces wire mess.- I like the tool free disconnect feature. The connectors seem to make just as good of a connection as the "tools required" versions. With these, you simply squeeze both ends of the connector to release.- The cables themselves are longer than average. A very good feature if you need some extra cable length to complete your connections.Negatives:- There are no mounting points on the center black box. This style usually has holes on each side for secure and professional install.- The main output cable is 6mm (10 gauge) wire. The "solar panel" connection wires are 4mm (12 gauge). You typically want 10 gauge or lower wire for the advertised 30 amp rating. 12 gauge wire goes to 20 amp. Typically, you would not have a solar panel that outputs higher than 20 amps. But if you string multiple panels into the "solar panel input" wires, you could go over 20 amps.While the cable is not perfect, it has a lot of good features - especially at this price point. The connectors appear to be well made and I would trust that it would be safe in an outdoor solar panel install.

Although it is easy to wire solar panels in series, this adds the voltages together and most portable power stations have a relatively low maximum input voltage you must not exceed.With this adapter cable you can easily wire the solar panels in parallel which increases the available amps but keeps the voltage lower of the panel set. This adapter has a good heavy gauge cables in and an even heavier gauge cable on the output to handle the current in most setups.All of the molded transitions seem well done and the cable looks of a good quality. There is no mounting or attachment holes but easy to use strapping or zip ties to keep it in place.
