What type of connectors does it take as input from the solar panel and output to the battery bank. Is it MC4 for both input and output?

Output takes a bare wire and the screw pushes a blade down to clamp to the bare wire.

Actually neither. It delivers maximum power at 31.64V. This panel is made for working with an appropriate grid tie inverter, but it probably would work well for charging a 24V battery bank as well.

On the input side are a positive and negative node to connect to a dc power supply like a solar panel or battery. On tje output side you get a lower voltage but higher amperage flow of electricity.

No special connecters. Just connect the OUTPUT from your solar panels to the INPUT of the SunSaver and the OUTPUT to the batteries. The Sunsaver SS-10 handles up to 10A (12VDC system). Do not overload it. For wire connection, you can use #12 wire size which handle up to 20A

I am not sure if this cable would fit or not, but technically speaking, you can connect two solar panels in series to get double voltage as it produces a pure DC voltage just like batteries.

You'll need a charge controller so the connection will be: panels>controller>batteries>inverter

That is correct. I made up a cable by splicing one of the supplied quick disconnects (I cut the two apart that were supplied with the unit) to one end & splicing two batt. connection terminal to the other. I used wing nuts to attach to the batt. I leave attached to batt. and use quick disconnect to attach solar panels.

No, it needs the stripped wires. You can get pair of wires that have MC4 on one side to connect to panel and bare wire on the other to connect to the charge controller. Better to do this than cutting off the MC4 connectors.

Yes you would plug you solar panels into these branch connectors if you plan to put two 12 Volt solar panels in parallel. If you plan only a single 12 volt solar panel, you would not need the branch connectors. Do an Amazon search for solar panel wiring and you will find cable pairs with the MC4 connectors to whatever lengths you need.

As stated, it has MC4 ends. You will probably need T or Y MC4 connectors to add to other panels.

Cut off the MC4 connectors... strip the insulation, and connect the wires with appropriate connector.How many watts is the panel?

If I understand your question correctly. your requirement is for a 400 watts solar input and if 408 watts of solar input is ok, I am assuming your question is for an off grid system (charging batteries). Question is if your your charge controller can accommodate additional 8 watts of input or ignore this additional watts without damaging any of the equipment. Please check the documentation of your equipment (charge controller) if it will work properly with the additional power provided by the solar panels. Normally additional power provided by the solar panels is ignored, one should make sure that electrical specs are matched with the solar input with the charger such as input voltage 24v panel and 24v charge controller input. Output from the charge controller should be matched with the battery voltage such as 24v solar panel, 24v charger and 24v battery, if different use an MPPT charge controller which can accept higher voltage from the solar panel and charge a lower voltage battery such as 24v panel, MPPT charge controller and 12v battery. Hope I have answered the question.

Yes, gives voltage for solar output, both voltage and amps when battery mode is selected. I have nothing connected to the load terminal.

This panel comes with MC4 connectors on the end. To use those connectors, you'll need these:HQRP Pair MC4 Solar Panel Connector male & female (M&F) for PV / Photovoltaic System plus HQRP CoasterHowever, you could also just cut off the factory connections and wire it with whatever other connectors you want. The MC4 connectors are nice, but are also very expensive.

The goal of using an "MPPT" (maximum power point tracking) controller with a panel like this is to automatically detect how much power you can get (in both volts and amps) from the panel, then take that and put out as much power as you can to the battery you're charging. On many panels like this, the actual optimum output (to get the "50 watts" it's labeled as) is at something like 19V & 2.6 amps, yet charging a typical 12V battery (which is "fully charged" at 14-14.5V) would mean that just connecting it directly only gives you ~40 watts with the 2.6 amps at ~14V. An MPPT controller will take in that 19V 2.6 amps and give off ~14V 3.3 amps where both of those powers are ~50 watts, but are obviously different V & A ammounts. So being able to take in all the power you can (but not be virtually "shorting" out the panel) as well as "transform" all of that to the best voltage & amps takes a lot more circuitry than a cheapy controller that just "switches on & off" based on reaching the battery "full voltage" level (or detecting a drop in battery voltage). You can choose to design a controller intended to be able to handle 100 watts, 500 watts, 1000 watts, or any other range you want (which can be for certain size panels and/or battery sizes). One MPPT controller I have even says it can take in power at 19V, 38V or 69V from panels and then put out power to a battery bank at ~12V or 24V systems (and will automatically detect the power from each of those systems & adjust things internally having the same "input" and "output" connections for any system). Of course you still need higher input voltage than output, so you can't charge 24V batteries with only 19V input (unless you can come up with a way to "transform" things in that manor). Hope you can come up with a fairly efficient circuit design.

The Solsti panels and battery pack come with a USB adapter to attach the battery pack to the solar panels directly. Charging input for the battery pack is a 5V input and is similar to a camera charging input so that type of adapter may work to charge the pack from another source, but I haven't tried that and you will want to check the voltage through the adapter so you don't burn up the battery pack.

It comes with mc4 connectors on the leads. I know it shows all the other wires in the picture but the newer panel just comes with the 2 (-) and (+) leads. Yes, you will need a solar controller if you are hooking this panel to a battery. The controller regulates voltage into the battery to prevent overcharging and a good controller will automatically disconnect if the voltage gets too low.
