How Does Solar Panel Wire Normally Run to Controller if Mounted on Roof
Published 12/01/2021
Question:
I have ordered a 2022 forest river xlr boost that has the go power solar prep. I’d like to install roof mounted solar and curious how easy the connection would be. I obviously don’t want a wire running down the side to the solar plug. Is there another way to connect to the already installed solar controller? Thank you

Expert Reply:
You'd have to run the wire for the solar panel like what comes with the kit part # 34280058 through the roof of the vehicle and then down to either the controller or to where the port is on the opposite side of the wall.
I attached a help article on installing solar panel kits for you to check out as well. Step 2 covers running the wires.
