[RE-wrenches] Module Connectors (MC 4 Solarline Tyco)

[William Miller]

Carl:

1. You have to use the one that matches the modules you are using.

2. The more connectors you have in a system, the more chance for 
problems.  We install a PVC J-box with panel mount connectors such that the 
factory leads can reach without spicing or extending.

3. From the J-box, un-spliced building wire (usually THHN) is run through 
conduit to the termination point.
