I have to splice a #10 wire (aluminum, I assume, from the silver color of the strands) from the solar panels back together.
My original plan included crossing the bare ends, twisting them, then soldering the splice and covering with heat shrink material.
I've acquired a HF hydraulic crimper. What would the pros or cons be of just crimping some type of quick connector on the ends, to join to the sections? It's been a while since I've done any soldering, and that was generally smaller gauge (thinner) wire.
Opinions appreciated.
