You still need to install a solar charge controller or provide one externally.

That *might* be just what you need. The MC4 connectors are common/normal for solar systems so it might be just what connects to your charge controller. The SAE connectors are what Zamp ports use, but check the polarity carefully. Mine is opposite of what I expected.

I have the Renogy 100 watt 42x20 solar panel.  It came with cable to the controller and to the battery, but how do I get it hooked into the "solar ready" port on the side of the Pod?  Do I have to buy more or different cable? Adaptors?  I am presuming that once I get it plugged into the port, that it will go through the inverter?converter? already in the camper?  First time trying thisWacko I found these on amazon. does this look like anything I need?
