Does this panel come with any cables to attach to a charge controller? If not, are there leads for positive and negative output to hook wiring to?

There are no leads supplied, only starter cables.With no connector I spliced and soldered cables to starters and added the length needed.

There are positive and negative leads MC3 2.5mm2 Line Connectors. It does not come with cables.

Yes, there are connector leads, but no cables. The leads have a connector for which I could find no mates, so I had to slightly modify to use standard connectors.

there are connector leads and the mates can be found on Amazon with wire or from Uni-solar.

I have two of these panels mounted to the roof of my 5th wheel camper. I did not install a fuse in line. I did install the "controller" which is supposed to prevent overcharging of the batteries and prevents discharge at night. I have not had any negative issues with these panels.

Mine arrived with over two feet of cable soldered to the panel, no diode. Wire insulation cut, but left on wire ends. No connectors

It does not come with cables. I got HQRP Solar Power Controller 10Amp 150W with Digital LED Display plus HQRP UV Meter to manage charging and use anderson connectors from http://www.powerwerx.com/ on standard speaker wire for cabling...

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.

Hi Le, The wire you have connects to photo voltaic panel and should not be cut. On the other end you can cut it to shorten and connect it to your charge controller. You need to get another set of wires to connect to your battery terminals plus and minus with battery clamps. Hope this helps, Derrick

You can reasonably connect 4 panels at 128 Watts and 24 Volts each using this spider. Connect the single lead to a 10AWG cable (sold separately from Amazon) and then to your charge controller. This is my set-up and the set-up of many other responders here. So, to answer your question, I believe the four conductors may not be 10AWG, but the single one I believe to be 10AWG. All stranded. I used the MC4 connectors sold separately from Amazon.

I have 2 panels, each puts out about 7 amps connected to this controller and could easily add more. Look at the specs on your panels and size your controller appropriately.

It only comes with what is shown. On the back are positive and negative leads. If you want to connect it to something you'd have to wire it yourself (i.e. Solder). The power settings are listed. You can solder to a converter or directly to a device.

MC4 cables with MC4 connectors (male & female)-charge controller-two lengths of cable (pos & neg) with ring terminals or alligator clips-inline fuse of some kind (3 amp approx). You will need wire cutters/stripper/crimpers-butt connectors-electrical tape/heat shrink. Basic wiring knowledge is a plus.I use mine for battery maintenance. This panel will not provide more that maintenance levels of power.

no USB connection. it has standard +/- leads. aluminum conductors. you won't find any solar modules with USB as the electrical properties and operation do not align with what a USB connection does. I think what you would be looking for is a charge controller, batteries, and inverter to go with the panel. the inverter is the device that would potentially have a USB connection to power your devices. in short, some sort of power conditioning needs to happen between the solar module and your USB device.

Mine did. There are two large positive and negative bind-nut terminals on the back for input. Mine included a 3 foot set of cables with alligators which fit these. You can use them, or you can hard-wire it.

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.

Yes, a very simple one. Basically, you just connect the positive leads from each battery bank to the side terminal posts on the back of the switch, and the common positive outlet is connected to the bottom post. The posts come with nuts, but you'll need four mounting screws and an additional red battery cable of correct gauge (or put red tape at the cable lugs). If you have a battery monitor, attach the monitor lead to the common outlet post.

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.

No, it needs the stripped wires. You can get pair of wires that have MC4 on one side to connect to panel and bare wire on the other to connect to the charge controller. Better to do this than cutting off the MC4 connectors.

There is just a solar panel. And you would have to mount it to some post and may need some additional wire to connect it to solar charge controller.
