I can wire a lamp w/out burning the house down, but I don't feel competent for this. Need someone who can make me some cables to attach my portable solar panel to my portable power station - MC4 connectors if I'm not mistaken. Someone in Oregon or Washington if possible. I don't expect a freebie. 

PM me for details, etc.

Thanks!
 
Hi Jacque....YARC.....we're headed to Klamath Falls from town of Oakridge (today).....gonna forest camp along hwy 140 to Medford

WHERE are ya ?
 
A lot of portable power station vendors already sell compatible cables to connect to solar panels and-or sell the panels too. Which unit do you have?

 I'm near Astoria, where it's COOL - as opposed to being in The Dalles area, where I've been staying, and where it's HOT.

How long will you be near Medford? Would take me about 6 hours to get there. Or maybe you'd like a breath of cool air and detour here? This does not need to happen on a schedule, I won't be heading to Arizona before Election Day. It would be fun to see you!
 
For all - I will need a custom cable. The portable solar panel kit I bought came with a cable that ended in alligator clips, because at the time I bought it, I was trying to make AGMs work for me. During the 8 weeks it took to ship the panels, for several reasons, I decided that portable power stations were a better fit for me. And I decided I wanted to use Hobotech's solution for skipping the kit's charge controller.

I have some extra MC4 connectors I can install for you. I'm not too far away, in Forest Grove. Unfortunately I'm going to be out of town (camping) today but will be back on Friday afternoon. I have the kit below that I bought from Amazon. It is really easy to use.
