How Long are Wires that Come with etrailer RV Solar Panel Kit e59FV  

Updated 02/18/2025 | Published 02/09/2025

Question:

How long are the cables that come with this kit that you use to run from the roof to the batteries? And I assume you connect the panels in series and the charge controller steps it down to 14.6vdc for the lithium batteries?

Hey Dave, the wiring that comes with the etrailer RV Solar Panel Kit part # e59FV is 7.5 meters long. I attached a diagram that shows how multiple panels attach to the controller. This is compatible with lithium batteries too. Is this first time with solar?

Well, the diagram is a big help. But the question specifically asked about the cables "...to run from the roof to the batteries?" I have a hard time running 35 inch cables from my roof to my power bay. I infer that the roof to bay cables are not included. What about the connectors for the cable? Do I crimp those on? I need to know the full list of items needed to put in a solar system assuming a 25' cable from roof to power bay. Does that make sense or clear it up what I am looking for???? Thanks! Dave

@Dave Hey I screwed that up. The wires are 7.5 meters long. I don't know where I saw 35 inches now but that must have been a mistake.

@JamesonC. Great. Do they have the connectors already on them. Or do I purchase them separately and crimp them myself?

@Dave They are MC4 connectors on one of the pairs of wires and ring terminals on the other two.
