Solar advice requested.

I am pretty good with electrical issues, but this solar stuff is new to me.

New travel trailer     Solex4 - 400 watt panel system    TBB power - Mppt solar mate charge controller 100V-40A

Inside the compartment where the controller and breakers are mounted, are a bundle of wires with cut off ends.  Just cut flush with no wire nuts or anything else.  Two 4 or 6 gage wires in Red and Black and one 10 or maybe 12 ga wire in white all bundled together with a tape tag reading "Solar".  Then 2 more wires (6 ga?) one white and one black tagged Battery.  Checked for power at each wire and find nothing.  

Using the "SWAG" method (scientific wild as* guess), I figure it's wiring for additional solar panels if you want to install them later, or am I way off track here?
