Does this include the cables I need to add to an existing solar panel system? if not, what cables to I need?

As stated, it has MC4 ends. You will probably need T or Y MC4 connectors to add to other panels.

No - you need the entire system including a central unit & power supply - AND would need to be pre-wired for it or have CAT-5 cable already in place. One would generally buy these to augment a kit that would have all that's needed to get started.

I just ordered the kit and it has not yet arrived so I'm not sure if it comes with the tray cable which connects the MPPT charge controller to the battery. However, the tray cable is not listed in the kit description as being included. Plus, if your inverter does not come with a heavy duty battery cable, you will need that as well to connect from battery to inverter.

From memory: the two panels, inverter, regulator, monitor and panel for inside the cabin and all of the mounting hardware. According to the guys that installed mine, the included cable is never enough so be prepared to spend a few extra bucks on additional hardware and about $1200 for installation unless your talented enough to do it yourself. Of course, you'll have to have a few deep cell storage batteries (I have four) to make this worth while.

Approximately 18" of MC3 quick connect cables are factory attached to the panel with negative "-" & positive "+" identification on the connectors. First thing to decide is to where the panels will be installed and the location of the charge controller "Measure the distance between solar panels and the charge controller for wiring. Measure all the turns and twists the wire has to go through". I would keep all major components from the same manufacturer ie; Morningstar charge controller with Morningstar display "meter". Final component list for your questions is as follows. 2ea Solar panels. 1ea TS45 MPPT charge controller "assuming battery is 12v" 1ea PV extension cable with MC3 connectors "length according to requirement" 1ea 3 string combiner box with 2 circuit breakers "can be used as an On/Off switch as well" This would complete the RV installation.

It includes the solar panel, 2 hoses, 2 clamps and 2 end fittings. You will need to construct the rack to support it at an angle if so desired. Hope this helps.

You will need additional items such as the trunk cable to attach the inverter to your AC electrical system also racking, solar panel, grounding, fusing and other items may also be neededHope this info helps you Joe

I returned mine. Only a solar panel, not a charging unit. Nothing else included. It didn't charge anything even using my own usb cable.

There are no cables that come with the unit. You will require two cables to connect the posts to their corresponding posts on the battery.

There actually two cables. One is hard wired to the panel with a polarized plug on the end which plugs into the cable with the battery clamps on it. I would guess in total they are 8 feet but with the set up as it is you can add cable to either of the two. It is working like a charm keeping my standby generator battery charged up.

The solar panel has MC4 Connectors and they are about ~2.5 ft. in length. You can buy MC4 connectors separately and crimp them on your on wire. On the opposite end of this cable, you can use always use Anderson Powerpole connectors for quick connect solution.

You will need a copper buss bar and some mc4 connectors. Run the positive wires in 10 gauge wire from the panels to the copper buss bar then a 8 gauge stranded copper wire from the buss bar to the charge controller. You can get a mc4 tee connector to tie the negative wires together and run one wire to the location of the charge controller. Do not do this for the positive wires from the panels to the controller, that's what I Sid first and found out a couple weeks later I was only getting power from one panel.

It comes with mc4 connectors on the leads. I know it shows all the other wires in the picture but the newer panel just comes with the 2 (-) and (+) leads. Yes, you will need a solar controller if you are hooking this panel to a battery. The controller regulates voltage into the battery to prevent overcharging and a good controller will automatically disconnect if the voltage gets too low.

Yes, for our project it included all [Solar panel, Fan Unit, screws and cable] the parts, but that said, our high peak wall vent was just under the roof peak facing, correctly, to the south and we snaked the 10'+ Solar panel, mounted high up on the roof almost to the peak vents, and wired/plugged it in thru the roof top vent down to the attic and over to the Fan/vent. [If your fan and panel are NOT that close you may need to buy/extend the two wire/cable. Plus with full sun we can hear the fan running in the bedroom below, but is NOT very loud and only in the day time. Also we had to use cut down, scrap 2" X 4" boards to "pad" down the 3" bigger square vent grill to make it fit the fan unit and be air tight, which of course did NOT show from the outside and we made the vent removable with 4 screws and caulking for outside access to avoid the attic insulation and long crawl space to get to that end.] During a new roof install the roofer noted this fan would have worked better if we had the correct eave vents vs. the side wall vents on each end wall for roof longevity AND for removing excess heat. [The small solar panel was easily removed/unplugged to put on the new roof.] The 70 deg. Temp. cut off Sensor stops the unit from working in the colder months which was an extra $16... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002YVUOO/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 AS ALL WAYS - SAFETY FIRST WITH LADDERS AND ROOF WALKING !!! [We used a contractor which added about another $250 due to the vent carpentry work and our inability to run the roof/ladders.] Bigger question: NOT sure how long the payback will be, but did reduce the temp. some on the upper floor bedrooms where all the house heat goes with our poor/undersized central HVAC system. This was purchased to be an HVAC power saving device.

Hello I hope which I hope you you need 10gauge wire you need a shunt a amp meter for you know how many amps you are receiving from your solar panel it could be 100w or 50w.the wires coming out of the path into the charge controller must be 12 V have the battery don't forget your user have relayed or fuses him all the connections and you should be good if you could go to youtube on your computer and you will learn everything you need to know I hope this helps you and thank you for asking my pleasure to help you

yes everything is included you may need to extend power, ground , and trigger wires depending on your hook up

Hi Retired Guy. Presently, the solar panel and attached cable are not sold separately from the lamp and stand. You may me able to find similar solar panels in the market, but we cannot recommend any that are not by us.
