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. 
This has been acknowledged by Enphase with a revision to their Engage 
manufacturing spec, and by Soladeck to me in writing. One fix is to confirm the 
date of manufacturer of the Engage cable ( much of the fine strand version 
remains in distribution). Another is to source appropriate ferrules to be 
crimped onto the fine stranded conductors before using them in the standard 
Soladeck terminals.

Also beware of the same issue if you are splicing with these older Engage 
cables. Most screw terminals like Polaris are also not listed for use with fine 
stranded conductors. NSI has a special Polaris terminal that is grey that is 
listed for use with fine stranding, and can safely be used.
I saw a few incorrect Polaris blocks pulled from an installation recently that 
had melted...

I use DIN rail mount "feed through" terminal blocks. There's all kinds and you 
will find some constructed such that no live parts exposed.

I'm looking to bring 8 Enphase 240V circuits in multiple conduits into an 
enclosure inside the attic where I can transition to Romex. I'd rather use some 
kind of rail mounted terminals in an enclosure or something rather than making 
splices in a generic j-box. I'm not looking to combine circuits - just 
transition from THWN to Romex and keep things neat an organized.


Any suggestions?
