Dave,
As you've seen on our installs we always use one or more strain
reliefs in the south end of the box. Including for the grounding
conductor. We use the nylon ones from Sealcon. There is no way that
the foam block and lid provide adequate strain relief.

Wrenches-
How are folks wiring the Soladeck boxes? It seems that the intent is
to use
cord grips in the south end of the box, but I just saw another
installation
where the wires just came directly in through the space at the south
end.
Seems like the foam is included to keep bugs out rather than provide
strain
relief to those incoming conductors, so I guess I'm just looking for a
reality check here.
Thanks and happy Thanksgiving!
