Sun Saver Solar panel

On my 2015 Aspire I have a small solar panel on the roof with wires going into a plumbing vent. In my literature kit I found a brochure on a Morningstar Sun Saver Controller. The problem is there is no connection anywhere else. Does anyone have something similar and know what’s missing? Entegra says my build didnt come with solar, but it sure looks factory installed.

That's the 5 watt solar panel for the chassis batteries. It came on all coaches. Really doesn't do all that much.
Later...

Generally those little 5 or 10 watt solar panels don’t have a solar charge controller and are wired directly to the chassis battery for trickle charging.

They don’t really do much at all and are not upgradable. They are often regarded as useless but some say the can help when your coach is in storage… if parked uncovered.

Look back at your chassis batteries. You should see a set of wires with terminal connectors on them. Mine were disconnected a long time ago and I left it.
