Engaged brain at last.  The obvious answer being - A8parts, who can supply at a fair price! 
Ordered today; switch fitted to the side panel where it's hidden and accessible only with the glovebox open and a suitable length of thick brown wire is reserved.
Just need to "join the dots" when the connectors arrive and put the trim back.
Also, having looked in more detail where the sunroof wiring runs it doesn't look too difficult to implement the "sunroof charges the battery" as a switchable option as described elsewhere. A possible later "upgrade" which will obviously need to hook into the +ve wiring around the solar relay.
