The solution I usually recommend for connecting the OutBack inverters to 
standard AC load center enclosures is to still include the optional ACA  
  (AC conduit adapter box) which expands the size of the AC wiring 
compartment and provides two new 3/4 inch knockouts which are closer to 
the mounting surface (4.75 inches) and located on each side away from 
the fins. 

The additional space provided by the ACA provides enough room to bend 
the wires without putting stress on the conduit fittings or the terminal 
block.  

Ideally the knockout on the ACA box would be 1 inch instead of 3/4 inch 
as it needs to handle up to four #6 AWG wires to the inverter/charger.  
3/4 inch will just do this - but it is tight. I would still use a short 
flex conduit down to the standard enclosure with a right angle fitting 
on the inverter end.  

I hope this helps!
