These are solar mc4 connectors the female is on the bottom and the male plug is on top. Usually the additional solar panel is connected to the existing solar panel on the roof or deck. This deck gland is a scanstrut ds30 s. I am installing 2 x 100w solar panel from the port and starboard pushpit connected in series to deliver approx 18v at 12a max and wondering how to wire through the deck i have been advised to use twin 2 5mm round tinned cable about 7mm dia and a couple of inline mc4 connectors to connect to the panel and have a preference for a 2 pin bulkhead connector but it would need to be rated 20a.

If you re already considering both solar and a gazebo or patio cover combining the two is a no brainer but keep in mind that you ll pay more than you would for a rooftop system.

Perfect solution for the installation of solar panels side mount navigation lights etc. You can often use a simple adaptor to connect the two solar panels together. Panels can be installed into the deck a number of different ways. Some panels can be ordered with a back side peel and stick adhesive.

Solbian sp panels can be ordered with backside wiring so that the wiring can go below deck through a hole under the panel. An average 6 kilowatt solar panel system costs 13 300 after tax credits and patio covers and other structures can cost thousands of dollars to build. Today more and more solar panels are shipping with mc4 terminals and less and less with actual junction boxes. But first you should check that the wiring is in good condition and is of adequate size thickness for your additional solar panel.

I still personally prefer a water tight j box and water tight entry gland but not all panels ship that way.
