As mentioned before, the extension cable can be cut, and the other end is used as a standard whip.<br>Nick Soleil<br>Project Manager<br>Advanced Alternative Energy Solutions, LLC<br>PO Box 657<br>Petaluma, CA 94953<br>Cell: 707-321-2937<br>Office: 707-789-9537<br>Fax: 707-769-9037<div><br></div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif;

You connect the factory provided termination kit to the Enphase array on
each roof. All of the Enphase inverters on one array do not need to
be in a daisy configuration.<br><br>
I have attached a drawing hat should illustrate<br><br>

doesn't EnPhase make whips with male connectors? We are having trouble
laying out a system with multiple sub arrays. We need to cable to sub
arrays that are on different roof planes in order to make up our
circuits. From 5 micros on roof one, into attic, out of SolaDeck on roof
two, grab 3 more micros, back into SolaDeck, into attic for home run. The
whip from the SolDeck to the last 3 micros needs to be male... any
suggestions? EnPhase does not want us to cut an extension that has
connectors on both ends...<br><br>
