Combiner is missing cap

Hirle

Hello,

I just bought a second Boulder 200 solar panel.

To connect it to my Yeti box, I also bought a 4X High Power Port Combiner.

So far so good.

But now I'm wondering what would happen in case of rain?

Yes, the combiner has 4 ports, only 2 are used. I'm scared that the water would short circuit one of the two unused ports.

I feel a kind of cap to close safely those two ports, should be provided.

This is my (2 cents) contribution.

Best,

I would think raising the connector above the ground, and maybe under something that sheds direct rain, would be wise. If you are getting constant rain, it's unlikely the solar panels sitting outside will do much good.

Your mileage may vary.

Hi @Hirle

Maybe these would do the trick?
