I am definitely doing a lot of reading...and I know that "looking like a jerk" feeling, too. Thanks.

Yes, definitely clear as mud!

I just looked at the Ecoflow Delta directions for connecting to a "non-MC4 connector solar panel." But aren't the photos in these directions showing a solar panel WITH MC4 connectors? And in step one, the connectors are labeled incorrectly gender-wise. By step 3 (red print), Ecoflow refers to...

And therein lies the problem for newbies. I saw many diagrams just like the one I posted incorrectly labeling the male/female connectors. It is difficult to learn things when the information you find conflicts with the truth! I do appreciate your help.

Thanks, but you have me confused. I understand your point about the ferrule, but it seems like when I look for panels and cables online they consider the connector shape shown above as the "male." I will attach an example from Rich Solar (taken from their website). In the end, I guess it...

Hi Bob142, Thank you for the kind reply! I will definitely use your advice and search for your previous posts. I appreciate your help!

I just purchased the Jackery 500 and wanted to purchase Will's recommended 100w Renogy solar panel off of amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Renogy-Watts-Monocrystalline-Solar-Panel/dp/B009Z6CW7O/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8). That panel is no longer available. Now, they have a compact model...
