Are these the correct connectors to fit these solar panels?
Oops, thought I had a better photo of the connectors on the panel. I can take one today.

Looks like it.... you are looking for MC4 connectors. It REALLY pays to get an MC4 crimper. You can get a set.... crimper, tools to tighten/loosen connectors and a few connectors for about $30.00 off Amazon. I have crimped them using a regular wire connector crimper but it is really unsatisfactory... sloppy.

That's it. +1 on getting the correct crimping tool.

Great, thanks guys, will do. The little HF solar kit I put up on my new carport roof is doing a decent job of keeping the battery charged for a couple LED lights and a radio, even during the low winter sun I get. I have 3.000 sq. ft. off roof up there I could fill with panels, might be time to get serious about some solar.

Unless you plan on taking them apart many times just strip and butt connect with sealing heat shrink.
