ACOPower 10/20/30FT 12AWG Bare Wire-PV Extension Cable

ACOPower 12 AWG Bare Wire to PV Extension Cables Connect Your Solar Array to a Charge Controller

ACOPower 12 AWG Bare Wire to PV Extension Cables run power from your solar panels to your charge controller. Each set is a pair of sunlight-resistant black 12 AWG cables. One end of each cable has a locking PV connector (one male, one female) that plugs into your panel or array leads, and the other end is bare wire that goes straight into the controller's PV terminals.

Choose a 10 ft, 20 ft or 30 ft length to place the controller near the batteries, where it belongs, while the panels sit on the roof, a rack or the ground. The cable is UV resistant, waterproof and TUV tested for PV use, with the TUV mark printed every foot.

ACOPower 12 AWG Bare Wire to PV Extension Cable Features

Plug-In Panel Connection

Hard plastic male and female PV connectors lock onto your panel leads and seal against weather.

Bare Wire Controller End

Bare wire ends land directly in a charge controller's PV input terminals with no extra connector needed.

12 AWG Solar Cable

Heavy 12 AWG copper keeps voltage drop low on runs up to 30 ft for typical RV and small off-grid arrays.

Built for Outdoors

Sunlight-resistant, waterproof insulation is TUV tested for PV applications.

Three Lengths

10 ft, 20 ft and 30 ft options match short roof runs and longer ground-mount runs.

Real-World Applications

RV roofs. Run from the roof entry to a controller near the house batteries.

Ground mounts. Bridge the distance from an array to a shed or cabin.

Portable panels. Place panels in the sun while the controller stays in the shade.

How It Compares to Common Alternatives

Versus connector-to-connector extensions. Connector-to-connector cables extend a run between panels. Bare-wire cables finish the run at a controller.

Versus thinner cable. 14 AWG costs less but loses more power over long runs. 12 AWG is a better choice at 20 to 30 ft.

Is This Extension Cable the Right Fit

• Current. Typical small arrays on 12 AWG solar cable. Check voltage drop for your array current and length.
• Controller. A charge controller with screw terminals for PV input.
• Length. The shortest length that reaches, to minimize voltage drop.

This may be a good fit if

• You are wiring panels to a charge controller
• You need a weatherproof, UV-resistant run
• You want plug-in connections at the panel end

Common Questions

What Is Included?

A pair of cables in the selected length, one ending in a male connector and one in a female connector.

Which Length Should I Choose?

The shortest that reaches. Longer runs mean more voltage drop.

Can It Be Used Outdoors?

Yes. The cable is UV resistant and waterproof.

What's Included

• 1 x Pair 12 AWG solar extension cables with PV connector and bare wire ends (10 ft, 20 ft or 30 ft, per selected option)
