Try using ferrules: http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Phoenix-Contact/3200315/?qs=Hp4IEBVVqKI9 npAWQtu7Sg%3d%3d
Strip the wire and insert into the ferrule, crimp with terminal crimper and then insert into the larger lug.

These meters typically have a minimum conductor size of #6 AWG. For smaller systems the inverter output conductors are smaller than #6 AWG. We have upsized the conductors to match the meter base requirement, but this adds expense. I am looking for other suggestions for resolving this.
