Wolf Creek 850 Solar Install

Started phase 1 of my solar set up. Utilized the maggie rack with uni strut cross members thanks to an extreme boondocker one of a kind truck campin' guy :).
Placed two 100 watt panels.









Removed access panel behind the command center to find my solar wires


Wires were right there



I removed the access panel in the upper cabinet as well to get to the cheesy splice and top solar connector Northwood installs


Here is the cheesy solar connector I removed from the roof


I hollowed out the middle and fed my own cable right to my solar controller


Here is my controller. I am supposed to have 6" of clearance on the top. Do you think I will be okay leaving it where it is or should I move it down?


I was going to use a junction box but opted for the mc4 connectors because the panels came prewired with the mc4 connectors already. I will see how this works out. I was tempted to install the panels next to the fantastic fan on the cabover roof part, but didn't want to drill into my roof yet and wanted to keep the weight over my truck bed.

Again thanks to Bryan for the hot tip on unistrut :)
