The 110 w PV panels come supplied with short leads terminated in rubber moulded push fit male/female connectors (very neat arrrangement).   But where can I buy some more plug/sockets to make up extention leads to interconnect between the panels and my two Soladin 120 Grid Tie Inverters?.

try windandsun.co.uk . They are one of my competitors, but they are great people, and pretty helpful. From what I have seen, the connectors on the 110W panels are virtually identical to the German SMA brand equipment. I cannot be 100% sure, but I am 99.9% sure.

The price of the terminated leads (you need special tools to make up the leads from these connectors), is quite high - so it is probably as well just to cut off the terminals where it is designed to join into the mastervolt unit.

Thanks Ivan - I've  cut off  th e termination   as you  suggest.  But I'll try and locate a supplier of the connectors as it would make the installation extention a lot more easier.  I add to this that my plan is to gradually increase capacity - so I want a totally  flexible approach    Mickey
