Do you have any photos of the installation where they laid the PV wires
right on the foam? I'd love to add that to our Rogues
Gallery:

PS: If you put any connections, splices or breakers in the
Soladeck, then our interpretation of "accessible" is that you
can't conceal the Soladeck under a PV rack.<br><br>

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.<br><br>
Thanks and happy Thanksgiving!<br>
