I just pulled the trigger and ordered more solar stuff!
My concern at the moment is the length of the PV cable on the Tigo RDS boxes.
Both the Tigo single and dual shut down boxes, combined with the panel leads, don't have enough length to make it work.
How would you splice more length onto the Tigo pig tail?
I could go with or build MC4 extensions. But with all the horror stories of bad MC4 connections starting fires and being generally problematic, I think I'd be better off to cut and splice in a longer wire.
I've already own correct PV wire.
The question is about a splice.
I have my doubts about a butt splice under the panels. Even a heat shrink "wet" butt splice. But, I'm not coming up with much for better options.
