1. A method of electrically connecting electrical energy storage or photovoltaic equipment with electrical destination equipment, the method comprising the step of:
providing a first source equipment, the first source equipment comprising a plurality of electrical energy storage systems each with capacity of at least about 1,000 kWh or photovoltaic inverters each of at least about 100 kW, and each energy storage system and each photovoltaic inverter comprising a first receptacle at their electrical outputs, the first receptacle comprising a frame shaped and sized to secure to a first plug on a first cable to form an electrical connection between the first source equipment and the first cable;
subsequently delivering or otherwise providing the source equipment to an electric power generation or storage facility (“power facility”) comprising destination equipment, the destination equipment comprising at least one of the electrical equipment chosen from the group consisting of: transformer, inverter, switch, switch gear, panel board, circuit breaker and meter;
providing a first cable comprising a first plug on a first end of the first cable, the first plug comprising a frame shaped and sized to secure to the first receptacle and comprising at least two conductors, to form an electrical connection between the first source equipment and the first cable; and
electrically connecting the first cable to the first source equipment by securing the first plug to the first receptacle on the first source equipment to form an electrical connection between the destination equipment and the first cable.
