HQRP 50 Watt Solar Panel 50W Power 12V Monocrystalline PV Module plus HQRP Coaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Initially, I want to warn people who are amateurs like me that the MC (Multi Contact) cables that Amazon recommended for this solar panel WILL NOT WORK and the correct cables, apparently, are not available on Amazon. What you need is referred to as Multi-Contact Solarline 2 on some sites or MC4 on other sites. Yes, confusing for a newb. Fortunately, I found adapters on eBay that will link the newer cables from the solar panel to the older cables Amazon recommended. They are called: Solar Panel Power Cable Adapter MC3 Female to MC4 Male - you'll also need male to female.
Hope this saves others an expensive le$$on.
I'll update this review when I receive the adapters from eBay....

UPDATE: These are good little panels at about $53/amp. I chose these instead of the 85 watt panels because I am making a portable power setup - these are about 10 inches smaller. The 85 watt panels are almost twice the amps for about $100 more.

Just be aware the connectors on this panel are the new MC4 Solarline 2, not the old MC3 Solarline 1 that Amazon was selling.
If you bought the old cables as I did, the adapters to connect the old cables to the newer connectors of the solar panel can be found on eBay here:

The male to female adapters are further down the page. If you don't find it there, the seller for the above eBay link sells both. You would need both male and female.
