Here's what I have. 600 watts in parallel on the roof going into the Victron 100/50 after a duel circuit breaker. The breaker shuts off panel feed to the Victron. What I'm thinking is this. Should I be in a position where I would need to chase the sun, under trees and so on, I have a 200 watt suitcase panel I want to tap into the current setup, or, for when I might need additional panel real estate to absorb the sun.
This suitcase has all kinds of connections to charge power stations and other stuff along with M4 connectors being part of that array. The three 200 watt panels on the roof have the same or nearly the same specs as the suitcase so it's a good match.
Now we get into the house electrician no, no. I have a heave duty extension cord that is going to be sacrificed for the power run, 14AWG. The no,no I'm considering is, wire the cord into the Victron panel input via double lugging. Assuming the 14AWG and existing 10AWG play nice and will fit into the panel input lugs/connections of the Victron.
What say the herd please?
Of course if this is a go, I will do the connection after dark. To windy now to consider covering the panels on top.
