At risk of rubbing salt into your wounds. If you have changed the connectors that were supplied with the panels you may have invalidated their warranty.Hope this isn't the case for you?
 
the Voc has been tested and all results met the panel specs, my clamp meter decided to stop working the day we started working on the system and haven only just had a chance to get a new one! About changing the connectors, we tried contacting segen (who supplied the system initially) about compatible connectors but they didn't seem to know anything about them. Will be back there on friday to try to get the problem sorted once and for all.
I do know about the different types of connectors but the types supplied by segen to fit with the panels just didn't fit. The rubber ones on the panels did not connect with the 'fork' types supplied seperately. This is why i assumed they were mc3's which it turned out they were not.
 
Segen have some kind of a T connector for upsolar panels on their site, no picture though.

So whats this MCS company you mentioned earlier?
