Suniva OPT260 used panels

[edrivas411]

I bought Suniva OPT260 solar panels to try my hand at solar. I am finding that the MC4 connectors that I purchased will not go in. They look like they should but I do not want to force them on. Is there another connector similar to the MC4 with channels on it?

Those are probably mc3 connectors. I would replace them with mc4’s.

Those are "SolarLok". Not MC4 (or MC3).

Search solarlok, or change them out to MC4.

I wonder if Rennsteig Tools Inc knows what 70s porn music is like?

Wow those are expensive to buy. I hope they are easy to change to MC4. These are my first solar panels so I am completely new to this and will be testing my skills in building a very small solar array before I put all the solar panels up and try a much larger array. I bought 17 of these panels and am curious to see what I can get out of them and the batteries I will need to supply enough power to proposed equipment.

Ebay is your friend. A complete kit/set for ~$30 for the ends and crimper.
