Solar cables-how to get from inside to outside?


Seeria

Recommended Posts

I picked up a Goal Zero unit and already have a solar panel but it sits on a stand outside. What can I use to do a pass through the wall from the panel outside to the Goal Zero in my kitchen? I'm looking for something water tight or somewhat water tight, 2 cable width or wider (if I can't figure how to cut the ends off and redo them). Not sure what they use on roof tops but I don't think that would work as I have to let out and take in the connection cable so some movement must happen.

 

Suggestions?

 

 

Kind regards

This would probably do the trick, or add an outdoor electrical outlet cover over this jack for extra weather protection.

Might also consider using a flat connector for trailer lights, but it would depend on the power you are putting through it. Might be too small. A weather tight connector suitable for your application should work. Doesnt necessarily need to be RV specific. And maybe even mount in a box against the chassis of the coach, out of run off from the wall of the coach. Make sure it has a cover, you dont want to be dealing with mud etc getting into it during travel.
