Rich Solar Cable Entry Housing

The Rich Solar Cable Entry Housing Gives Solar Cables a Clean, Weatherproof Path Through RV, Van and Boat Roofs

The Rich Solar Cable Entry Housing is a UV-resistant ABS plastic roof cover with waterproof cable glands that seal solar cables where they pass through a roof. It measures 4.7 x 3.9 x 2.0 inches, weighs 7.9 ounces and accepts cables from 6 to 12 mm in diameter.

The housing mounts with adhesive for a fast install, and Rich Solar lists it as compatible with virtually all aluminum-framed solar panels. This listing offers it in Black (RS-C2B) or White (RS-C2W) to blend with your roof.

Rich Solar Cable Entry Housing Features

Weatherproof Cable Glands

Waterproof cable glands seal around the solar cables to keep water and dust out of the roof penetration.

UV-Resistant ABS Housing

Durable UV-resistant ABS plastic withstands long-term outdoor exposure on sunny roofs.

Clean Roof Cable Entry

The housing gives rooftop solar installs a clean, secure entry point, so panel cables run neatly from the roof to a charge controller inside. Rich Solar includes the Black RS-C2B housing in solar kits such as its Basic 400 Watt Solar Kit.

Adhesive Mounting

The housing mounts with adhesive for fast, convenient installation. Rich Solar specifies the recommended adhesive in its specifications.

Wide Compatibility

Rich Solar lists the housing as compatible with virtually all aluminum-framed solar panels, and its 6 to 12 mm gland range covers a range of cable sizes.

Two Colors

Choose Black or White to match a dark or light roof surface.

Real-World Applications

RVs and travel trailers. Route roof panel cables down to a charge controller inside the coach.

Camper vans. Bring solar cables through a van roof with a sealed, tidy entry point.

Boats. Pass cables from a hardtop or cabin-roof panel into the boat.

Cabins and off-grid systems. Seal the cable entry on a cabin or shed roof.

How It Compares to Common Alternatives

Versus an open drilled hole. A bare hole with sealant can let water in as the sealant ages. The housing covers the penetration and seals each cable with a gland.

Versus running cables through a window or vent. Routing through a window or vent can pinch cables and leave gaps. A dedicated roof entry keeps cables protected and out of the way.

Black versus White. Both colors share the same specifications. Pick the one that matches your roof.
