    use a voltmeter to check polarity before you connect to Zamp plug, Zamp polarity is reversed from other company panels. i have to cut the MC4 to SAE adaptor wires and re-attached in reverse to make it work. please check this video https://youtu.be/LShSQeddlgk

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Portable Solar vs Roof solar
