They plug straight in between panel and controller, or between panels, to buy you the distance you need without cutting or crimping anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe single biggest advantage of a portable solar panel is that you can walk it into the sun while the van sits in the shade, and the thing that limits you is cable length. Three metres of properly sized extension is often exactly the difference between a panel that spends the afternoon half-shaded and one that works all day. On fixed installations these are just as useful for reaching between panels on a roof or getting a controller to a sensible mounting point. Because both ends are factory MC4, there is nothing to make up, nothing to get wrong, and nothing to fail in the weather. At 10AWG (6mm²) the conductor is generous enough that a 3m extension costs you very little in voltage drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10AWG (6mm²) conductor\u003c\/strong\u003e – minimal voltage drop over a 3m run.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFactory MC4 connectors both ends\u003c\/strong\u003e – plug and play, nothing to crimp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 metres \/ 10ft per lead\u003c\/strong\u003e – enough to reposition a portable panel meaningfully.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied as a pair\u003c\/strong\u003e – one male-to-female lead for each polarity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV and weather rated\u003c\/strong\u003e – built to live outdoors permanently.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStackable\u003c\/strong\u003e – join extensions for a longer reach where needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoving a portable solar suitcase or blanket out of the shade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReaching between panels on a caravan or camper roof.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiving a charge controller a sensible mounting position.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdding length to an existing array without rewiring it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrying as a spare on long remote trips.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLocal Support from 4Matt Campers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e4Matt Campers delivers genuine Renogy parts across \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Africa\u003c\/strong\u003e.

If you do need more reach, joining two of these is fine, but consider stepping up a gauge for very long runs at higher currents. Keep connectors up off wet ground where you can, and click them fully home until they latch. Do not leave a coiled extension tightly wound in full sun under heavy load. When packing up, disconnect at the panel first and keep the connector ends clean, because grit in an MC4 is what causes a poor contact later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose your panel from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/solar-panels\"\u003esolar panels\u003c\/a\u003e range and a matched unit from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/solar-charge-controllers\"\u003esolar charge controllers\u003c\/a\u003e collection.
