module connection arrangement [RE-wrenches]

Wrenches,

With even more series fuses being needed than previously thought, it 
becomes yet more attractive to put fuses in module junction boxes.  With 
inline fuses installed in the j boxes, only enough flex conduits need to be 
run to carry the current to a combiner, junction or breaker box.

A j box with a label saying "fuse inside" would make finding blown fuses 
relatively easy.  This might be more appropriate for a system mounted 
within easy reach of the ground.   If 15 a amp series fuse is used with 
each string of SP 75 modules, it should never blow, unless a fault 
condition is encountered.   It might be ok to use this method for roof mount.

Fewer conduit whips make a cleaner looking system with less labor and 
materials.
