Hi Terry, yes individual cables down to circuit breakers then to solar controller. They will be parallel not in series.
Lucky we Carol and I had no wind when they went up. I have a platform portable bench that is around half way up the side of bus, I put a old blanket over the roof then slid the panels over making the blanket slide at the same time all real easy. The rear panel is fixed (each way bet, screwed and sika) but the front only screwed loosely at the moment till I have the wire to go down to the controller, the junction box is just under the rear of it.
Bernie.

Oh Bernie what have you done!! ??
I'm guessing that is a gas bottle locker?
I love your back bumper though! I gotta get me one of those.
At present the back of my unit looks like a can can dancer from Paris!
ps. the mud looks like it's drying out quickly?

Now that is an achievment. How did yo get a flat door frame to mount into a shaped side panel? This was what made me decide to put my batteries under the step, I couldn't see how I could get a door frame the size I needed to fit into the spot I had on the shaped side of the Mazda.

Bernie's hole is half above the floor & half below. I bet that resulted in a few choice words?

The only thing I done wrong was I forgot the shaped section, if you's were not to busy chuckling you's would have seen that.
Its pretty flat there Terry.
A "Boss" who ever you may be, the floor is a cuppla inches below the bottom of the cutting so there. As you know.
I done some thing else as well, but not for publication.
Bernie.
