Matt, my main reason for not doing so would just be the length of exposed cable on the coachroof, but if you can come up with a solution for that then why not. You would probably want to put a cable joint in Under the roof panel, just in case to want to unstep the mast.

I installed mine without having to drill any holes through the deck and without any exposed cables. I would certainly not want cables running over the deck which, apart from being aesthetically awkward, could be a trip hazard or could become damaged.
With solar you will want to minimize cable length and given the battery position, it made sense to me to find a way of getting the cable between the deck and the liner via the companionway. I removed the hatch cover and went in sideways in an area usually covered by the sprayhood. The cables are totally invisible once the hatch cover is replaced. There are pictures of my installation earlier in this thread.

Hi Matt.
In my case it was simply a long stretch from the swan neck to the panel. Also I needed both a cable to the garage AND a cable to an Anderson contact for use with a mobile panel. I wanted to shelter this contact from the spray and thus placed it under the spray hood. The most difficult part of the cable routing in my 400 was getting the cables up into the ceiling from the battery compartment. The existing cable routing was very tight. Once in the ceiling, routing through the head and up inside the spray hood was easy.

These are custom Solbians that we have. 342w in total. 114 in the middle and 114 each side. We always have some shadow at least over one of them. Still happy with the production.

I like the custom Solbian. I am interested in how you go about ordering these and also how you have them wired to your controller(s).

Turkish distributor created template on the boat carried the template to the Cad drawing and sent it To solbian engineers. I collected some pictures about shadows in different directions and at different hours. They simulated at their side and decided on placement of bypass diodes and cell groups. We have decided to go single panel in the middle with victron 75/10 and other panels in serial connected to a 100/20 victron mppt.
