I can't make this little tripod cheaper than it costs. This is now connected to the solar panel and has been connected to others to draw power from the panels to the controller and then to the batteries for charging. Every time I can shorten a run of solar cable, I end up with less wasted energy and more usable energy. Ten tinned AWG wire is commonly used throughout solar installations and the connections are designed to reduce waste and short wires. This solar cable has been manufactured to a high standard and all parts are made from quality materials and I would definitely buy from them again. Four stars βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ!
