Thinking out loud here: Can you, 1) Use short pieces of the TC for the box entry

wire into a J Box. I'm now using Kyocera, as that was a PITA. Since
your project is low amperage, have you considered smaller USE like 12 or

Wrenches,
I do a fair amount of work on ancient systems, just because there's
been off grid here for decades. I'm rewiring several old arrays for
my next door (meaning 1/4 mile away) neighbor. The particular
