Would there be any harm in running my cables from the panels to the charge controller on the outside of the trailer?? My roof is not conducive to running the cables where I want to run them, so I thought maybe I could do an alternative routing??
I can mount both of my panels on the roof, secure the cables to the roof top, then run the cables down the front of the box along side the vertical support strips that run up the sides of the trailer. I'd secure them with 1/2" metal/rubber cable clamps and most likely heat shrink sections between the cable clamps for security. Everything would be sealed up with silicone.
I have an entry gland that I could run through the front diamond plate, and then directly to the controller.
Would this work, or would be asking for a disaster?? I already ran battery cables through the diamond plate, and have had zero leaks or water intrusion so far.
