Renogy 100 watt panel leg and power lead retrofit project!

Hi Folks! At long last, I have successfully retrofitted the 100 watt Renogy solar panel from the 400 watt kit with legs and a power cable adapter to mate with the 30 Amp Anderson Power Pole connectors that I use out in the field while I'm on temporary assignment. This project is necessary because the Renogy panels are supplied without legs, and the lack of long leads means that the panels are all deployed right next to each other flat on the ground, and cannot be moved easily unless you have about 8 people to lift all four panels simultaneously. Panels flat on the ground = lost power, and the inability to move the panels makes them much less usable. Here's the video on retrofitting legs to the panel:    • Renogy 100 watt solar panel leg retrofit p...   I won't go into the technical details on the legs here, as the detailed information is in the other video. Legs are only half the issue with the panels: Even with them, you still have the problem that the panels have short, approximately 2-foot MP4 type power connectors. The MP4's are entirely waterproof, but at 2' long, you simply can't move anything! For my Wildfire deployments, I have retrofitted the really good Harbor Freight 57325 100 watt solar panels with 20' of Powerwerx #12 twin lead, and put 30 Amp Anderson Power Pole (APP) connectors on the far ends. The APP's work great for temporary use, and have become a de-facto standard in the Encomm community. So, in the video you'll see that I built a short MP4 to 30 Amp APP adapter cable. The cable is a proof of concept, while in real life I would go with a 20 footer. The demonstration cable feeds a 4 way combiner that goes to one of my Victron 100/50 MPPT solar controllers. I've seen similar adapters on Ebay, and you can specify the length. Bottom line: I would recommend using 20 foot long adapter cables of whatever you're using on the other end: MP4's to go into the Renogy kit controller, or APP's, or whatever you're using. Thanks for watching! -Tom
