I just called Soladeck and they are sending me some more info on availability. I'll pass it along when I get it. I didn't realize they made an AC roof mounted string combiner solution. That's a huge help for 2 or 3 string Enphase installations (they make both combiners).<div>
<br></div><div>While on the subject, we recently started using the Enphase cable couple with Type TC-ER cable to extend cabling to junction boxes when necessary... No more wasting trunk cable connectors! I suppose Type TC-ER could be used all the way to the main distribution panel, thereby eliminating junctions on the roof, but I haven't looked into the cost/benefit of that idea.<br>

SolaDeck Models 0760-41AD and 0766-41AD are rated for up to 60A at
240Vac.<br>
<br>
It can be ordered with DIN rail mounted AC breakers and a combiner
kit. The 2 - 20A circuit combiner kit is part 0760K2AC.<br>
<br>
I'd recommend checking with a distributor or on SolaDeck's website
for the most current information.<br>

We have been using SolaDeck PV roof mount enclosure.
NEMA 3R with a flashed<br>
penetration. Can use for combining, or simply as a

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Best practices for conduit
penetration on roof<br>
<br>
Wrenches,<br>
We typically run conduit for roof mounts over the edge
of the roof to the<br>
eaves, rather than penetrate the roof whenever
possible. An upcoming<br>
installation on an freshly asphalt shingled roof
requires that we penetrate<br>
the roof for the conduit run (Enphase). I'm wondering
if there are any<br>
suggestions for preferred flashing products and best
known practices. It's<br>
always seemed to me that the typical Oatey type
flashing dries and cracks<br>
eventually.<br>
Thanks for your insights..<br>
Rich<br>

<p>“Don’t get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It’s just that I
prefer fusion to fission. And it just so happens that there’s
an enormous fusion reactor safely banked a few million miles
from us. It delivers more than we could ever use in just about
8 minutes. And it’s wireless! .” <br>
