20ft 12 AWG CE TUV Solar Panel Extension Cable

20feet Solar Cable PV cable extension with Female and Male connectors Unboxing

Description

An solar extension cable is very similar in concept to an electrical extension cord. Just like an extension cord has a male plug on one end and a female plug on the other, an solar extension cable has a male connector on one end and a female connector on the opposite end. They are available in many different lengths from 8 feet to 100 feet long. Let's go back to our first example of wiring two modules in series. Once you've got the two modules connected in series, you need to use MC4 cables to bring that power to wherever your electrical equipment is located (usually a circuit breaker and a solar charge controller). Systems using two modules are generally used for RV's and boats, so you can usually use the extension cables along the entire distance. When you use solar panels on a house or cabin, the distance that the wire must travel is normally so long that using an extension cable is no longer practical. In those situations, the extension cables are used to connect the panels to a combiner box. That way you can use less expensive wiring (such as THHN rated insulation) inside the electrical conduit to cover greater distances at substantially less cost than the MC4 cables. Let's say that the total length of wire needed to go from the two modules to your electrical equipment is 20 feet. Note: This is where most people start getting confused. You only need one extender cable. We offer an extender cable in a 50-foot length, which is best suited for this situation. Remember that the two solar modules that you've already connected together have one positive lead with a male solar connector and one female lead with a female solar connector. To travel the 20-foot distance to your equipment, you will need a 20-foot wire with a male connector and a 20-foot wire with a female connector. This is achieved by cutting the 50-foot extension cable in half. That will give you a 25-foot wire with a male connector and a 25-foot wire with a female connector. That allows you to plug into both leads of your solar panel and it gives you plenty of wire to get to your destination. Sometimes cutting the cable in half is not always the best solution. Depending upon the location of the combiner box, there may be a greater distance from one side of the panel string to the combiner box than from the opposite side of the panel string. In this case, you will want to cut the extender cable at a spot that allows both cut ends to reach the combiner box with a little slack to work with. This diagram shows you an example of that scenario.
