Connecting Global Solar panel to Four Wheel camper

[bboyle]

Getting ready to install a 100 W Global Solar flexible panel on the roof of my Four Wheel Camper Fleet. The camper came with the solar wiring installed. I'm scratching my head over how to connect the two beefy connectors from the panel to the one rather small female socket on the roof.

Do any of you have experience hooking up these connectors? Any idea where I can get adaptors? Are there cables which adapt ready-made from one to the other, or am I going to have to do some splicing?

Attached are pictures of the panel, a close-up of the panel connectors, and the connector on my roof.

Thanks!

Looks like you need to wire a mc4 to 2flat connector. Or you could cut off the connectors and crimp on a 2flat.

Like makers said. Either cut them off or get some MC4 connectors and make a pigtail. I would just get a 2 flat and cut them off and splice with soldier and adhesive heat shrink.

Those ebay connectors are 16 AWG - not big enough.

These are 12 AWG, much better (scroll down to third item): http://www.solarseller.com/low_voltage_dc_pumps__lvm__teel__accessories__plugs_and_extensions.htm

10 AWG would be even better if you can find them. The wires on your solar panels with the MC4 connectors are 10 AWG.
