MC 4 Connectors (MC 3 not shown) Do I have the MC3 or MC4 connectors on my existing RV Solar kit?

A lot of times it is really easy to determine, you just need to have access to the connectors on the existing system. Once you have the connectors visible, you should be able to see the side of the connector for the MC3 or MC4.

RV Solar panel mounts matter! RV solar panels are subjected to much more wind and other forces than a panel installed on a cabin or home. This is because RV solar panels are normally installed on the roofs of Recreation Vehicles, trailers, campers, Class B, Class and motorhomes.

When we drive our vehicle down the interstate at 75 MPH into a head wind, you can imagine how the force is quickly increasing on the panel and its mounting system.
