Solar prewired

I have a 25.3 2018 Vega. It has the connections on the roof for solar panels but I am not sure where the wiring terminates or if a charge controller is hidden somewhere.
Any information would be appreciated.
If this is the incorrect place to post this please advise.

No Charge controller, just wires running from the roof to behind your power panel. you will need to install all the necessary equipment.

Sk8nmike...
What gauge wire did the factory use from roof to back of power panel?

I used 10g on my ‘17 that was NOT pre-wired.
I ran the wire down the refrigerator roof vent, then behind the cabinets.
I’ve got two - 100 watt solid panels fastened with drill-less mounts, and a 30amp controller.
Works fantastic!

The point being that if you plan on a 300+ watt system, you may want to re-wire with a larger gauge for efficiency & safety.

Are you referring to the main power / fuse / circuit breaker panel converter?
Or the panel by the door?
