Is there a commercially available adapter that will allow me to go from MC4 to the factory installed solar connector on my 2014 Hawk? Thanks in advance for any assistance or insight.

I haven't found any advertised adapters available but Renogy might have some if contacted. They are easy to make with a decent crimping tool

Measure the voltage on the rear wall solar socket and plug in the short jumper cable such that the red wire of the plug goes into the positive side of the socket to keep colors as expected. Remove the jumper and cut the jumper cable. Toss or hide the wrongly colored connector and attach the mc4 connectors to the 2 pin connector. Note the gender of the mc4 connectors from your panel so that you don't install those wrong. The panels should be marked with plus and minus labels.
