We're looking for a way to transition from #6 PV wire to #8/#10 PV wire
wye-harnesses. Unfortunately Multi-Contact doesn't seem to manufacture a
#6-compatible MC4 connector. Has anyone else had to deal with this? or has
any creative solutions?

Could you use one of those insulated Ilsco terminal blocks (sorry, don't have a 
part number handy) to transition the #6 to short length of #8/10 then put your 
#8/10 connector on the short piece?
