Just picked up six used Suntech stp175 panels to add to my off-grid array.
The specs for this panel show a male connector coming off the positive side.
But when I got home I noticed a strange female female dongle had been connected to the positive terminal to make it female. And the negative terminal was male.
Has anyone seen this before? Can I just pull off the dongle thing and push it on the negative terminal, or will that break it? I have tried pulling it, but it doesn't seem to want to come off.
Any other suggestions?
I didn't pay much for the panels, but it was a long drive to get them. And while it was absent minded not to spot the male female thing, I did a voltage check before buying them and they all work.
