I cringed when I read that. While you can do it, no pro I have talked to would dare suggest it as recommended. Busbars are the way to go and a battery disconnect is essential. That couple is setting themselves up for potential issues later.

Checkout explorist.life for excellent "soup to nuts" vids on solar.
