Hanse 345 - Solar panel in front of Sprayhood

Dear all, I am looking for advise and pictures from someone who have placed a solar panel in front of the spray hood on Hanse 345 - on top of what sometimes have been called the garage. I am really struggling with the wiring route. I have seen a very good YouTube video from another Hanse owner doing exactly the same - but this was a bigger Hanse around 40 feet. The biggest problem is how to get the cable from (above) the ceiling down in the port side as it must go down then straight and then down again. I have spent hours and used a small camera etc. I have used the wholes from the spotlights in the ceiling both in the cabin and in the bathroom. In case I would replace the VHF antenna cable from the mast, I would face the same problem. I have considered to use the existing antenna cable, but it seems to be glued or somehow fixed on top of the ceiling so it cannot be drawn. Really would appreciate if someone have installed a panel and have drawn a cable this route - or an alternative route. Thanks a lot

On my 345, the solar panel is in the location you are considering.  The cable runs between the windows and goes through a fitting that is screwed into the deck just behind mast.  Cable drops into boat to an open area above compression post.  Then cable runs into top of starboard cabinet in v-berth.  Then it runs down and through the bulkhead into the battery area under the starboard settee.

Thanks a lot! One more question - from below in the saloon - how did you find the route to the front cabin - did you go straight back and then to the side (using a magnet) - or how?

Punched a hole through the upper part of the bulkhead in the open area above the compression post (need to remove the two covers around the top of compression post).  Then ran the wire along the edge of the ceiling and into the top of the starboard locker.  Once the outside cable was inside the boat, changed to a wire that is the same white color as the bulkhead so it is not so visible from the v-berth.

This doesn't look like correct installation, all wires should go straight thru the deck and snaked in the void space between the deck core and the ceiling plastic cover, there shouldn't be any wires visible either inside or outside
