Cable Entry Housing — Waterproof Roof Pass-Through, Universal Fit
The Rich Solar Cable Entry Housing is a simple, universal-fit solution for routing solar wiring through a roof: a UV-resistant ABS housing with waterproof-rated cable glands, sized to accept cable diameters from 6mm to 12mm. Unlike Rich Solar's pre-wired cable entry plates, this housing ships without any cable or connectors included — it's designed to work with whatever wire and connector setup your installation already uses, bonded to the roof with an adhesive sealant.
Use Your Own Cable, Any Connector
This housing ships without wire or connectors, accepting cable diameters from 6mm to 12mm through its waterproof glands — flexible for whatever gauge, connector type, or existing cable run your specific installation calls for.
Waterproof Glands, UV-Resistant Housing
Waterproof-rated cable glands seal around the wire where it passes through the housing, while UV-resistant ABS plastic construction holds up to years of direct sun exposure without becoming brittle or discolored.
Universal Aluminum-Frame Compatibility
Designed to work with virtually any aluminum-framed solar panel, confirmed compatible across the full Rich Solar lineup — a flexible option rather than a single-SKU-specific accessory.
Product Overview
The Cable Entry Housing is the simplest of Rich Solar's cable entry solutions — a bare housing rather than a pre-wired assembly. Where the RS-G02, RS-G04, and RS-G05 cable entry plates ship complete with wire and MC4 connectors already installed, this housing ships empty, designed to accept whatever cable you're already running through it via waterproof-rated cable glands sized for 6mm to 12mm diameter cable.
This makes it a flexible option for installers who have a specific wire gauge, connector type, or existing cable assembly they want to route through the roof without being locked into a pre-terminated wire length or connector style. It's also a practical fit when you're routing a non-solar cable through a panel mounting area — communication wire, sensor cable, or anything else within the gland's diameter range — alongside your solar wiring.
The housing is made from UV-resistant ABS plastic, which holds up to years of direct sun exposure without becoming brittle, and is 100% recyclable. Rich Solar recommends Sikaflex 252 or a similar adhesive sealant for bonding the housing to the roof surface — a specific, named product recommendation rather than a generic "adhesive not included" note, which is useful if you're sourcing materials for the first time. At 4.7 × 3.9 × 2.0 inches and 7.9 oz per unit, it's compact and lightweight, designed to work with virtually any aluminum-framed solar panel and confirmed compatible across the full Rich Solar panel lineup.
Built for Flexibility, Not a Fixed Wire Assembly
- 6mm–12mm Gland Diameter Range: Covers most common solar cable gauges and many other cable types, giving you flexibility in what you route through the housing.
- No Pre-Installed Wire or Connectors: Unlike Rich Solar's pre-wired cable entry plates (RS-G02, RS-G04, RS-G05), this housing doesn't lock you into a specific wire length, gauge, or connector type.
- Works With Existing Cable Runs: If you already have wire cut, terminated, or routed for your specific setup, this housing gives you a sealed pass-through point without needing to match a pre-terminated assembly.
- Multi-Purpose Roof Pass-Through: Within the gland's diameter range, this housing can route more than just solar panel wiring — useful for sensor cable, communication wire, or other small-diameter cable runs through a roof.
Built for Years of Outdoor Sun Exposure
- UV-Resistant ABS Plastic: Resists the brittleness, fading, and cracking that comes from prolonged sun exposure — important for a housing that stays mounted outdoors for the life of the installation.
- 100% Recyclable Material: Supports end-of-life recyclability if the housing is ever replaced or the system decommissioned.
- Waterproof-Rated Cable Glands: Seal around the cable where it passes through the housing, keeping water out of the roof penetration point.
- Available in Black or White: Choose the color that best matches your roof surface or panel frame finish.
Adhesive-Mounted, No Drilling Through the Housing Itself
- Sikaflex 252 or Similar Recommended: Rich Solar specifically recommends Sikaflex 252 or a comparable adhesive sealant for bonding the housing to the roof — a concrete starting point if you're sourcing materials for the first time.
- Compact, Lightweight Footprint: At 4.7 × 3.9 × 2.0 in and 7.9 oz, the housing adds minimal weight and bulk to the installation.
- Easier, More Flexible Installation: Without a fixed wire or connector assembly to accommodate, you have more freedom in how you route and terminate your cable on both sides of the housing.
- No More Penetrating Roofing or Driving Nails: The adhesive-mounted housing avoids the leak risk that comes from mechanically fastening through asphalt shingles or other roofing materials.
No wire or connectors included. Universal 6mm–12mm gland diameter, bring-your-own-cable. ABS housing, Sikaflex-recommended adhesive mount.
Pre-wired with 10AWG or 8AWG cable and MC4 connectors already installed — a complete, ready-to-connect assembly rather than a bare housing.
