i want to put a solar cell on the top of my tahoe. biggest issue is getting the wiring through the roof. anyone have any tricks/plugs for water tight long lasting pass thru?
 
We used bulkhead fittings on wind turbines for cable penetrations. Pic Is one I found on the internet. I have one I'm going to use on the 4runner, I will probably put a little RTV on it just because. Water can still get inside your loom and travel through it if you aren't putting a waterproof cable through it.

Duplex/triple wire for the win, easier to waterproof a bundled pack than individual wires pressed together.

I'm planning on using a regular grommet then some self-leveling silicone rv sealant on my rig.
 
Cable gland is what i use. Also I'll put a short section of extension cord or other round jacketed wire to keep it rounder to prevent leaks
