[RE-wrenches] wiring the Soladeck

[Scott Knapp]

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.
