Handy Products We Don't Carry


Our customers often ask us for recommendations for the below products.

Twin Walled Polycaronate for under walkable solar panels. You can find 4mm which is also effective and thinner. ​

MC4 inline fuses - best to use coming out of each solar panel on the positive line so if one goes bad the whole array doesn't go down.

For mounting J channels and walkable solar panels directly: 3M Double sided VHB (Very High Bond) tape for mounting flexible solar panels, semi-rigid panels, and the J extrusion semi-rigid mounting kits (same tape used for mounting automotive molding) and high temperature, you may prefer thinner but this gives you a starting point: 3M's VHB (very high bond) tape 5952 similar to what is used for automotive molding.

MC4 disconnect tool example, and another MC4 installation and disconnect tool.

Clear adhesive silicone sealant for damaged walk on semi rigid flexible solar panels - good for sealing up any laminate cracks in a flexible or semi rigid solar panel

Inverter/charger option (if you don't use Victron's Multiplus) : XANTREX FREEDOM HF 1000 INVERTER CHARGER

Bigger version of inverter/charger (2000 watts and again if not using Victron's Multiplus):  Xantrex 815-2012 Freedom SW Series 2000 Watt Inverter/Charger
