Figure 5: Connecting a male MC4 Connector to Solar Panel Cable

Figure 5 outlines how to attach a male MC4 Connector to the solar panel
cable (The female MC4 Connector can be attached in the same manner).

Step 1:

Strip the solar panel cable to expose approximately 3/8” of the

stranded copper cable.

Step 2:

Slide the nut onto the solar panel cable.

Next,  slide  the  strain  relief  and  grommet  onto  the  solar  panel  cable.
Lastly, firmly crimp the male pin onto the solar panel cable

Step 3:

Slide

the male pin into the MC4 Connector until it snaps into place.

Step 4:

Slide

the strain relief/grommet and nut back onto the MC4 Connector. Firmly
hand-tighten the nut.

MC4  Branch  Connectors  do  NOT  require  any  preparation.  The  metal
female  and  male  pins  are  pre-installed  at  the  factory  inside  the  MC4
Branch  Connectors.  This  means  that  the  MC4  Branch  Connectors
arrive“ready-to-use” and can simply be snapped into place.

pre-installed at the factory.

3.2.4 Connecting  the  Solar  Inverter  to  the  Battery

Bank and Panel

(Note: The instructions in this section need to be used in conjunction
with the included Solar Inverter Manual)

Before connecting the solar panel(s) to the inverter, connect the inverter
to the battery bank. See Figure 7 below.
