[RE-wrenches] Replacing MC connectors…Warranty (was Microinverters with S-5-PV)

[Larry Crutcher, Starlight Solar Power Systems]

Jason,

There's probably something akin to Magnuson-Moss warranty law that prevents them from voiding the warranty unless they have evidence that your "modification" caused the failure. I change and even remove connectors all the time (only when I am working with under 50 volts and in a mobile environment). Also, we are still doing Kyocera warranty replacements for the KC-120 modules. I have seen some pretty trashed modules come in but Kyocera still replaces them without question.

Speaking of wire management with Enphase, has anyone gone through the effort and expense of cutting module DC leads and installing new MC4 connectors on wires that are just long enough? I'm assuming this voids module warranties, but I've never looked close enough to confirm.
