With a solar panel, you need a solar charge regulator, it makes sure that you don't overcharge the battery. You need a sealed AGM (or lithium but it's more expensive) battery, because certain types of batteries produce toxic fumes. The battery and regulator I'm using are from Harbor freight because I got them on sale fairly cheap.
I took two pieces of wood, ground them down to mostly the curve of the roof, did the measurements, scratched down the paint where the wood goes, and used professional epoxy to glue the wood to the roof. Then, I drilled a hole in the roof, disconnected the mc4 (the standard plug for solar panels) connectors from the wires on the solar panel, connected them to longer, 12ga flexible wire, ran the wire through the roof, then sealed it with silicone. Then, I set it in place, and expoxyed door hinges to the wood, and then the panel to the hinges and wood. I sealed the edges with silicone.
When you connect new wires, use a LOT of slack. Then, once you have a place for your charge controller, remove the slack and connect it. DC power doesn't like going long distances. Good luck
