Re: Double sided panels - pre order 50% discount

Anybody know what MC4 connectors Gioco use?

On-line I'm seeing issues with some connectors and also mixing brands isn't always a good idea.

some mc 4 connectors are junk but they should all fit each other.

How do we tell the good ones apart?


Is it materials or workmanship? How do they fail?


Thx,

See Gioco. I have 4 FGSE147 panels.
There are others on the market but I haven't seen any other semi-flexible.
I'm waiting to hear from them as to whether or not I can cut off the MC4s and just use heat shrink butt connectors.

How can you tell if an MC4 is a decent quality?
