Ok! Solar project is nearly completed- the panel is on the roof and connected and working!!
Here are some pics:
Panel on roof

Exterior Cable routing

I will attach the white tube to the fiberglass top securely and add some more flex tubing to control cable that comes out of it.
Here is the controller producing juice

This is early AM and the panel is aligned North/South so not full sun and producing 4.1 usable amps- pretty good...
And here is the battery monitor out put graph

Left to complete are getting the project board with the controller and fuse mounted and internal cable management and also putting the lower refrigerator vent back on. I mounted the panel with 3M VHB tape, but I will also screwing down one forward foot and one back for belt and suspenders approach on keeping the panel attached!
Thanks for checking in on this project!
