But if wires need to be routed a long way through walls or ceilings I'm not comfortable and would hardly know where to begin.

I resemble that remark. I just booked my 28A into the local shop to get the solar system fitted.
Victron invertor & controller, 200AH of lithium batteries and 250W of panels. Not doing that lot myself.
I used to be a little intimidated with the thought of adding solar. I wasn't sure about putting holes in my roof. I also wasn't sure about how to run the wiring. I asked my RV mechanic once how he would do it and he said they usually route the wires down through the refrigerator exhaust vent. Recently I did a refrigerator repair (replaced the cooling unit) and when I had the refrigerator out I saw how easy it would be to route the wires.
Solar will be a project very soon. I already purchased a 200w WindyNation system. I've got 200AH bank and an Aili monitor which has proven to be a great monitor so far.
