Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ High-Performance Solar Panel Cable Kit for Goal Zero Yeti, Suaoki, and Renogy Portable Solar Generators - 10AWG, 60cm/2ft Length by Michael Herrera

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm one of those people who didn't understand the MC4 connectors at first. (Reconfigurable? Type.)

the goods are good. Haven't actually used it so don't know how to rate it but it seems durable and good looking. I give them 5 stars because they don't deserve a lower rating due to my stupidity. However, I bought it after seeing all the talk about "reconfigurables" and I didn't think it through. I thought - oh, I can just switch it if it doesn't work. I'm one of those people who didn't understand the MC4 connectors at first. :P The Anderson Power Pole (APP) page can be reconfigured. Nice. This allows me to connect it to my Rockpals solar panel (ROCKPALS RP082) which has APP ONLY and no MC4. BUT - the MC4 side of this cable connects (as it should for other use cases) as an extension cable, not an adapter. So instead of being red-male/black-female (like a normal solar panel would be), MY result was red-female/black-male. This made me scratch my head when I saw that my Bluetti cable ALSO has a red jack/black plug. I'm 99% sure I'll have to return this because I didn't think it through, but I'm holding onto it until the return window is up because I'm still building my system. (I just got a Bluetti AC200P and am trying to figure out my best portable solar setup to hit the 35V minimum voltage.) Having already bought Rockpals I'm considering buying more of these or getting smaller ones to switch flat screens. ) The time will tell. don't be like me Draw your plan first before you buy this. xtx!

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something
