Because an rv solar panel system is really a battery charger battery performance is a very important part of the equation.
How to route wire from roof to battery 5th wheel.
In part five of our solar installation series we are drilling holes in the roof running wires down to the solar controller installing a shut off switch from the roof placing the solar panels.
When you re routing wire from the exterior of your rv to the interior look for anything else that s already running from the inside to outside or all the way through the living area of your rv.
The panels will be mounted to the roof and will have two wires that lead to wherever the solar charge controller is installed.
The better the batteries the better the solar panel system performs.
The solar charge controller will also have two wires that lead to the camper s battery battery bank.

Another way to ensure the best solar powered perform ance is to improve the efficiency with batteries controls and wire gauge.
