For clarification--Waytek Wire is a distributor of electrical products. I don't think they make anything, at least there is no factory at their headquarters location. I've bought a few things from them and pick up direct at their headquarters.
I built my combiner box and used a gray 1 1/2" PVC LB. I see these all day long on the sides of buildings near service entrances and they are all intact. I dunno', maybe in 50 years the plastic will dissolve (but I doubt it). Actually, my conduit run on the outside of the trailer is painted, to match the exterior color of the trailer. Psheww, dodged a bullet, I guess.
BTW, I also used 4 ga. welding cable from combiner to controller.
Do you have a thread on your install? Don't see it in the thread where they're all listed.
Never mind, found it, quite the job you're doing on that trailer.
Good data mining on your part. Yes, my solar installation isn't included in the forum member's solar installation thread. Just as well since everything I did is done as well or better by someone on that list. :B
FYI, I currently have 1-235W module and Morningstar MPPT controller. I'm thinking about more panels to run a small window AC. Expansion was in mind when choosing 4 ga cable from the roof. I also included a pair of 14 ga wires to the combiner in case I need connectivity to the roof for something else.
