Dean Rowland Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Searched around some, can't find this so if there's a previous post on this please let me know. Want to add solar panels on roof, how do you get wiring from the roof to the overhead cabinets, I can handle it from there with Overland's clever down-through-the-pantry method. If you drill down into the roof how do you know where you won't hit any wires? Does Oliver factory wiring run with either the Vent fan's wire or the AC's wiring? Even so, you'd have to have the new wire run from forward on the roof back to the middle somewhere.

This topic has been discussed, and several owners have made this modification successfully. I did a quick search and came across this link. I suggest you consult with Service to ask if and where the wires are placed on your specific model. Oliver has made changes in their process over time.

Dean Rowland Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 Thank you Hokieman, that's what I was looking for. I did not know about the metal plates, that's great, and you are probably right that i should just ask Service.
