Hi, I have also asked this question and had some reply's but still undecided, so lets hope you get some advice.

I also understand that the EC 500, if that's the one you have, is capable of panels up to 120w and will charge both batteries as required. I have not got any wiring information or what plugs are required.

Sargent sell the wiring loom with connectors (MC4 at the panel end) on their website at £12.42. It should just plug into the unused solar connector on the underside of the EC500 controller (or EC325/328).

On my Lancashire (without solar panel) the cable is plugged into the EC328 and the ends are left (insulated) in the conduit in the wardrobe.
