{"title":"Solar Adaptors","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe regulator protects the battery side of a solar install. The roof side is only protected if you put something there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is what the inline fuse in the panel lead is for, and it is the part of a solar install most often left out. An MC4 inline fuse holder sits in the lead between panel and regulator. The rating comes from the panel and controller specifications and the array layout, not from a rule of thumb, and in some arrangements a fuse in a single panel lead does little. Check what your array calls for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe other half of this collection is branching. MC4 branch adaptors put two or three panels in parallel and send them down a single lead, which keeps the array at the voltage class of the panels rather than adding them in series, and limits what one shaded panel costs the others. How much it limits depends on the panels and how the shadow falls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything here lives in the panel lead, on the roof, in the sun. Once it is fitted you will not look at it again, which is exactly why it needs to be right the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMC4 to Anderson leads and extensions sit in Solar Cables and Leads rather than here.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"roam-gear-solar-mc4-2-to-1-adaptors-pair","title":"Roam Gear Solar MC4 2-to-1 Adaptors (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor joining two solar panels in parallel into one MC4 lead.
