Question:

I have a question about: Go Power Solar Cable Entry Plate with Red and Black MC4 Cables - 10 Long - 34273841REVA. Is this meant for quick disconnect applications for solar panels? I plan on using this for hooking up solar when setting up camp. I want to be able to disconnect when traveling. Thanks. -Logan

Expert Reply:

The Go Power Solar Cable Entry Plate 34273841REVA with MC4 connections, as installed by RV builders, is generally installed on the roof. If this is the situation with yours then this will not provide a quick disconnect for you unless you use an MC4 to SAE for creating a quick disconnect. The MC4 entry plate is intended to make connections for permanent/semi permanent solar panels affixed to the roof.

I suggest the Go Power Portable Solar System with Digital Solar Controller and 200 Watt Solar Panel # 34282610. This is also available in a smaller 90 Watt Solar Panel arrangement, # 34282729. Or the 130 Watt, # 34282730. Either way you go, I caution you to not operate a solar system without a charge controller or operate sensitive electronics without a pure sine wave inverter such as the Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter - GFCI - 1,000 Watt - 12V Item # 34279948.
