West,
Thanks for your ideas and comments,....gave it all some serious thought before "cheating":)
Actually I connected only 1 panel to that 10ga twin lead.
Today I'll run a 2nd twin lead for the 2nd panel, only for trouble shooting the panels separately down below.. A box above would have allowed separation above. But I have lots of 10ga twinlead, 100' roll.
I'm cheating on the tilt rods too, making them longer than maybe necessary, w/ a couple xtra holes,...cut them off in AZ when I get the sun square w/ the panel ??? :)

Made easy work of the wiring, chopped off the MC-4s, and soldered them all together. Then liquid taped the soldered connection. Another coat or 2 will have the connection completely waterproof. Then a blob of Dicor over the connection, anchoring it all to the roof. I see no need for boxes
Cheater :B
Just kidding, of course, do whatever works for 'ya.
