Is this PV connection OK?

pxl-20221111-223633206.jpgJust climbed up on the roof to install tilts when I Lifted one of the panels I found a open exposed PV connection. Is this ok? The shop I went to I was going to chalk off and a few mistakes but after this I don't know? There's no heat shrink on the ends I can see bare copper. I would think eventually this would impact the performance of the PV .pxl-20221111-223640257.jpg

Dear

This connection is completely out of any norm, if you have mc4 connectors, make the change yourself, but if you don't know, contact a photovoltaic installer. to fix it quickly. since both the photovoltaic panels and the other equipment can be damaged.

It's not even the correct weather and UV proof cable.

Wow it was done by a Battle Born and Victron authorized shop. I really have to check everything they did now. Battle Born said they doubt they messed anything else up. I really don't want to come back to my camper and find it burnt to the ground.
