It is the connection almost every fixed solar install needs and the one people most often improvise badly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cable between panel and controller is not a place to save money. Undersized wire quietly costs you output every single day through voltage drop, and the losses get worse the longer the run and the higher the current. On a caravan the run is rarely short: the panel is on the roof, the controller is in a cupboard or under a seat, and by the time the cable has gone through a gland, along a channel and down a wall you have used several metres. At 10AWG (6mm²) this kit is properly sized for typical 100W to 200W panel runs at this length, and the factory-fitted MC4 ends mean a weatherproof, correctly crimped connection at the panel instead of a hand-made joint sitting in the sun and rain for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10AWG (6mm²) conductor\u003c\/strong\u003e – properly sized to keep voltage drop low over a 6m run.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6 metres \/ 20ft per lead\u003c\/strong\u003e – enough to get from a roof panel to a controller inside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFactory-fitted MC4 connectors\u003c\/strong\u003e – weatherproof, correctly crimped connection at the panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBare wire at the controller end\u003c\/strong\u003e – terminate straight into the charge controller terminals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied as a pair\u003c\/strong\u003e – positive and negative leads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV and weather rated cable\u003c\/strong\u003e – built for permanent outdoor exposure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting roof-mounted panels to a charge controller inside the van.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed solar installations on caravans, campers and canopies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtending a portable panel so it can reach full sun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing improvised or undersized existing solar wiring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny run where you want factory MC4 ends rather than hand-crimped joints.\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.

On a caravan that means a proper waterproof roof gland at the entry point, cable clips or conduit along the run, and no sharp edges. Keep the positive and negative runs together rather than separated, and leave a drip loop before the gland. If your run is significantly longer than 6m, or your array is bigger than a couple of hundred watts, step up a gauge rather than accepting the drop. Terminate the bare ends into the controller with ferrules if the terminals accept them, and always connect the battery to the charge controller before connecting the panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePick your panel from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/solar-panels\"\u003esolar panels\u003c\/a\u003e range and the controller from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/solar-charge-controllers\"\u003esolar charge controllers\u003c\/a\u003e collection.
