Proper connection of your solar modules to each other and to other components is crucial to the overall performance of your photovoltaic
system.Without proper wiring, power from your solar array may be lost right at the source before it ever gets to your battery bank or inverter.
The module interconnects and panel output cables listed below make it very easy to make clean, code-compliant,water-tight connections.
Note: For the past few years, modules have come with Multi-Contact
Solarline 1 connectors which have a soft rubber insulator. In
2007, PV manufacturers began switching to Multi-Contact
Solarline 2 locking connectors to meet future electrical code requirements. We carry both types of connectored cables, so please make sure you are choosing the correct cable for your application. Call our knowledgable sales team if you have any questions!
Wiring your solar panels to a combiner box. Now that many solar panels come with Multi-contact Solarline connectors, wiring modules in series is as simple as connecting the positive lead of one module to the negative lead of the next module and so on. If you plan on wiring the modules in parallel, you may be confused about what to do with the MC connector leads on the modules since you can't connect positive to positive using only the connectors. Here are two options:
