Canadian Solar connectors

Registered Users Posts: 59 ✭✭
Hi Everybody, I was just getting ready to purchase a couple Canadian Solar 310W panels (MAX Power CS6X-310) and I noticed the data sheet says they use Friends PV2a or Friends PV2b connectors. I have never heard of these. I already have cables with MC4 connectors ordered and am wondering if they are compatible. If not, is there a conversion available to adapt from the PV2 to MC-4?
I'd appreciate any help on this, thanks!

12 * 300 W (10 fixed rooftop, 2 movable pole mount), Morningstar Tristar MPPT 60, Magnum 4448 PAE, 64 200Ah CALB in 4p16s arrangement with 16 LED Balancers and a Choice BMS300 (It is lousy and I don't recommend but it provides high and low voltage cutoff)

It looks like a molded version of the MC-4 but I don't see any suggestion of compatibility.Home system 4000 watt (Evergreen) array standing, with 2 Midnite Classic Lites, Midnite E-panel, Magnum MS4024, Prosine 1800(now backup) and Exeltech 1100(former backup...lol), 660 ah 24v Forklift battery(now 10 years old). Off grid for 20 years (if I include 8 months on a bicycle).
- Assorted other systems, pieces and to many panels in the closet to not do more projects. -
Ask Canadian Solar? All of the panels I use from them are MC-4's including the CS6X."we go where power lines don't" Sierra Nevada mountain area
