This is all getting so interesting.

A number of years ago I suggested to a module manufacturer that they switch
from a metallic frame to pultruded fiberglass and, while they were at it,
instead of supplying a pair of leads to connect to - create a waterproof
polarized plug on the ends of each module that would allow joining the
modules in series and, at each series end, allow a plug-in home run (to a
combiner). This would eliminate the need for grounding frames and
interconnect wires (and be nice and clean).

They graciously declined to spend a bunch of money on R&D' ing something so
unusual. But I still think it has some merit.
