New Palomino hard side 'solar ready'??

This is my first new RV in 15yrs and my first 'solar ready' unit. I have it on order and I should see it in a couple weeks. Trying to see what 'solar ready' means for a Palomino truck camper. I find lots of youtube videos on other brand 'solar ready' TT's. Those are usually prewired from a passthrough on the roof to a marked wall mount location for a controller. Then prewired from there to the battery.

Now here is the odd thing. I've looked at thousands of interior pics of the Palomino and I don't see any wall mount location for a solar controller. How is this supposed to go in a Palomino TC?

    Our Arctic Fox is also solar ready pre-wired. For us that means there are the wires run through into the battery compartment, and also up to the roof to connect to the panels, which we have not done. The controller that we would have to buy would be installed on the wall near the kitchen sink, near the radio & water heater controls. It simply consists of a label on the wall. "put controller here", or something like that. It just shows where you have to CUT into the wall to mount the controller. I assume all the wires are in the wall behind it that I would need, after I get my drywall knife out. Good luck.
