I bought a tab outback 2017 with solar panels. Where is the control panel and how do you use it.

    I forgot to say the panels are roof installed.

    You will be looking for a "solar controller" (I think this is what you are asking).  It is just a rectangular square looking device. 
    Try having a look under the bench on the driver's side.  While you are there, you can look at the plumbing and the Alde. If it isn't in there, look in the front of the trailer where the battery is. 
    That will only get you so far as far as how to use it.  Do you have the SeeLevel monitor on the wall by the sink?  It has a basic battery monitor, and depending what it says it may tell you if the panel is working.
