Hi, as the sun has been out today and I have been isolated! I thought I would finally have a look at the solar panel set up on my day van. Without going into too much detail I have a renogy 100W solar suitcase panel with the built in 20Amp charge controller. This is portable as I think it's best to move the panel every couple of hours with the sun. Anyway, the battery and inverter stay in the van and I have a cable out through the roof that allows me to connect the panel when needed. These MC4 connections are a bit fiddly and I dont think are too robust so , My question is, can i remove the MC4 connectors and replace them with a single 16amp weatherproof socket ? As I think this is a much quicker and sturdier connection. Basically I would like the connections to be the same a the campsite hook up connections , but for my solar set up.
Any help is much appreciated!!
Thanks,
Dean
