PeterW Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Oh and ask him why not a 32A double string isolator as that is fail safe when working on an inverter as you take both strings out .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash_scotland88 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Looks like it could be the MC4 connectors/cable. Quick google suggests places that may have stock, or buy the component parts and he can make what it needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
