  • Solar panel wiring

    Installing solar panels on my 2021 2600RB and noticed a cover on the roof forward port side, removed cover and found solar quick connectors, does anyone know the wiring schematics for the solar connectors?Where do the wires from the connectors go and are they fused?

    The wiring should go down thru a channel to the forward pass thru storage area and should be coiled and tied to the ceiling or the removable aft wall if you have that. As to my knowledge there are no fuses of any kind associated with the "solar prep package". Also check the size of wire that was used to make sure it is ample enough for you solar array. TucsonJim and others will have far more knowledge on this topic.

    Also welcome to the tech forum, glad to have you join us. Please post pics and such in the Solar section of the forum. All systems and knowledge is great to help others.

      Hi there, welcome to the forum.

      We've been trying to get more info from the GDRV guys. But from what I understand, there should be a coil of wire somewhere in your basement storage area. This is the other end of the wiring. I believe there are MC4 connectors on the roof side that you can plug your panels directly into. The wire is supposed to be 10AWG which will easily support series connections if you're running multiple panels. The wires in the basement can be run into what-ever fuse and controller your particular system will use. Fuse size will depend on how your panels are configured and how much current is flowing.

        I found my wiring in the utility box just inside the storage area. The utility box for water, battery disconnect, 110 outlet etc. I had to take the cover off held by 6 screws.

          When did they start wiring the 2600RD for solar from the roof? We have a 2020 model.
