Solar panel connection - how - where?

Postby JT23456 » Wed Mar 25, 2015 7:28 pm

I put a solar panel on my roof last year - had a temporary wire in through the top of the passenger door taped to the roof - it worked - but looking for a better idea - hopefully not having to drill a hole through the roof - maybe through the top of my lifting tailgate? Any suggestions appreciated.

Could always bring it down to engine bay and in through the firewall.

Or in through back door.

Got any roof vents?
