How did you run solar cables to the charge controllers? Did I miss it somewhere?

I"m not able to show the solar wire going through the house since it's all hidden. I have a manufactured home so the wires are just going between the skirt and bottom of house, then it's run under the house to under the charge controller. I put a gray pvc pipe about 3ft long through the floor. In this video or another of my solar setup you an see the pipes coming through the floor. The pipe isn't necessary though since solar wire has about 3 layers of insulation to protect the conductor and piping isn't necessary like 110V.
