I think the issue has always been locating the right parts, not the
installation. Everyone carries the Cobra X flex, but not the
ferrules. We usually crimp lugs on and use breakers with stud
terminals, so the need for ferrules is minimal. <br>
I have always wondered about the terminal bussbars from Outback and
Midnite though. They're ILSCO and I can't find any mention about
extra flex, which usually means they are not rated for anything
beyond Class B stranding.<br>

<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Be aware that depending upon the vintage of the
Engage cable, up to recently the conductors used in their
cables are fine stranded and cannot be used in the
terminal blocks provided with the Soladeck. <br>
