Review on πŸ”Œ WindyNation 8 AWG 8 Gauge 1 Pair 30ft Black + 30ft Red Solar Panel Extension Cable - Premium Solar Connectors (Available in Multiple Lengths) by Mark Repp

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible quality control! Red cable with two plugs TWICE!

Unfortunately I have to give one star because of my (or lack of) experience with this product! I ordered an 80ft 8AWG extension cable (meaning it will be used to extend the connection from the panels to the charge controller) but upon installation I noticed that the red cable had two MC4 connectors (like seen in the pictures) which rendered it unusable because I couldn't connect it to the connector coming from the panel. The black was fine as expected and matched the images on the product page with a male and female connector. I love how thick the cables are and they felt quite heavy. So I ordered a replacement (which Revain took care of as usual). After waiting a few more days and halting my project, I ended up with ANOTHER set of cables with the same problem. Since this was no coincidence but a major lack of quality control by WindyNation, this time I decided to send it back and order from a different brand/seller. Really very annoying! Because of this, the project is delayed by more than a week!
