-The "solar ready" feature in RVs is typically an external [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_connector#SAE_connector|SAE]] port wired directly to the house battery bank (no solar charge controller controller).  In this scenario panels with built-in solar charge controllers are required.  Check polarity before attachment; some vendors (Zamp, infamously) wire them in reverse configuration from common usage.
