Proper way to Wire Solar in Parallel?

Yes you can, connect one panels wires to the second panels terminals and run one set of wires to the controller
Always run only one pair of wires to the controller
In cases of multiple panels, most installations
consist of wires run from each panel to a "gang" box
Connect all wires together in gang box and run large pair to controller

"Looks like your batteries are not hooked up correctly. If you are using 2 x 12v in parallel then you should feed the trailer with the negative from one battery and the positive from the other battery. Your hookup shows you are feeding from just one battery with the other battery cable attached. I do not think this is the correct way. Check the "12volt side of life" for pictures."
Would the same thing apply to solar panels? I have two panels on a 12 volt setup. One panel is wired in to the other panels terminal box then the wires run from the terminal box to the battery in a daisy chain parallel setup. Is that ok? Thanks
