It is difficult to plan exactly how much length you need and, as a result, I frequently ended up with cables that were either too short or too long. Eventually, I started assembling my own MC4 cables cut to exactly the lengths I needed. I wish I had been assembling my own cable from the beginning. I realized how easy it was to create my own MC4 solar cables and now I want to tell you how. • First you will need to the following items (Amazon links to these are provided here: https://kit.com/rvwithtito/make-solar...) • Solar cable • MC4 Connectors • MC4 Crimping Tool • MC4 Assembly Tool (not required, but handy to have) • Assembly instructions • (1) Measure and cut the cable to the necessary length • (2) Strip roughly ½ inch of shielding from the ends of the cable • (3) Place the open end of the metallic conductor of the MC4 connector in the crimper • (4) Insert one end of the cable into the connector and squeeze the crimper all the way • (5) Disassemble the MC4 connector and slide the weather sealed end over the crimped end • (6) Slide the remaining piece of the connector over the conductor until it snaps into place • (7) Slide the weather sealed end up and screw it to the other end using an MC4 assembly tool if needed • (8) Repeat the same process for the other end of the cable • This video also address these topics: • Make Solar PV Cables • mc4 solar panel extension cable • Assemble MC4 Connectors • How to install MC4 Connectors • How to crimp MC4 Connectors • MC4 Crimping Tool • How to Make Solar Cables • Custom Solar Cables • How to connect solar panels • #diy #rvlife #vanlife #solar #offgrid #tinyhouse #doityourself #howto • DISCLAIMER • The opinions expressed in our videos are our own or from a contributor.
