Depends how big of a solar array you intend to mount. Your rig is not that big, so long wire runs are not so much of a problem.
In the old days with a smaller solar array, you could go down the fridge vent to the controller mounted on the wall by the fridge and the wires from the controller "to battery" would then back into the fridge vent and down to the 12v junction where the fridge gets its 12v. (with set screws for the wires)
That is connected to the battery, but with fairly thin wires. However if you have a small array the wires might be fat enough to do the job well enough for what you want. "It depends".
