Thanks for the replies everyone- I appreciate the reality check.
I sent William some pictures for his Rogues' Gallery, so you can also
see their green wires used for the ungrounded conductors. I didn't send
the picture of the FMC (that's right, not liquid-tight) running down the
exterior wall to the inverter, but probably should have.
Just saw that Heyco announced a new product that they also claim is UV
resistant nylon; they don't call out their other cordgrips as UV
resistant, though they're also nylon... but hopefully these truly are UV
resistant since they're designed for combiner boxes.

Thanks all!

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!
