The Go Power! Solar Extension Cable Plugs Straight In to Carry Power From Your Solar Panels to Your Controller or Roof Entry
The Go Power! Solar Extension Cable bridges the gap between your solar panels and your charge controller or roof entry. It comes pre-terminated with a male solar connector (SC) on one end and a female SC on the other, so it plugs straight in.
Choose from 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 30 and 50 ft lengths. Each cable is sold individually, so plan on two per panel: one for positive and one for negative.
Go Power! Solar Extension Cable Features
Male and Female SC Connectors Already Attached
Both ends come with connectors already fitted, so the cable plugs straight in between your panel leads and your controller or roof entry.
Weather-Resistant, UV-Resistant Connectors
The SC connectors are weather-resistant and UV resistant, so they're suited to the outdoor run between your panels and the roof entry.
Seven Lengths to Match Your Route
Lengths run from 1 ft for short connections to 50 ft for long runs, with 3, 6, 10, 15 and 30 ft in between. That lets you match the cable to your actual wiring route.
Real-World Applications
A single panel on the roof. Use two cables, one positive and one negative, to run the panel's leads to your roof entry or controller.
A parallel array. After a branch connector pair, use two cables to continue the run toward the controller.
Practical Comparison
A Direct Panel Run Versus a Parallel Array
For a direct run, you need two cables per panel. For a parallel array, you need two cables after the branch connector pair. Either way, one cable carries positive and one carries negative. For parallel arrays, keep the runs short.
Buyer Guidance
Measure the Route First
Measure from the panel lead to the controller or roof cap along the route the cable will actually take. Add 2 to 3 ft for slack, then pick the next length up.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- Your panels use SC (solar connector) leads
- You need to reach a controller or roof entry
- You want plug-in connectors on both ends
- You're wiring panels through branch connectors
Common Questions
How Many Cables Do I Need?
Two per panel for a direct run, or two after a branch connector pair for a parallel array. One carries positive and one carries negative.
How Long Is Too Long?
Voltage drop grows with length and current. Go Power's guidance is that runs up to 30 ft are fine for a single 100 to 200 W panel. For parallel arrays, keep runs short or step up to a heavier gauge. An MPPT controller with panels wired in series is more tolerant of long runs.
Which Lengths Can I Choose?
You can choose 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 30 or 50 ft. Each length is sold as one cable.
