To connect a solar panel to the battery box, use the Anderson port on the side. Ensure your solar panel has an in-built regulator or use one 'in line' before connecting to feed power into the unit at the right voltage and prevent potential damage.
We put solar panels on a container for a guy who was powering an RV on his land. He had a generator, and the container was full of batteries to support himself. When we’re on top of a container, we need to build a custom racking system to hold up more than one row of panels, which what we ended up doing for him. (See in image with tan container.)
Note: When setting up your system, the solar panels should be out of the sun or covered for safety reasons. Step 1: Hook up the battery to the charge controller. Connect the battery terminal wires to the charge controller FIRST, then connect the solar panel (s) to the charge controller.
