Patent ID: 8207637

Claim:
A system for delivering power to an AC grid, the system comprising: a first inverter having a first inverter connector and being configured to deliver inverter AC power via the first inverter connector; a second inverter having a second inverter connector and being configured to deliver inverter AC power via the second inverter connector; and a cable assembly configured to receive power from the first and second inverters, the cable assembly comprising: a first end for delivering the combined power from the first inverter and the second inverter; a first cable connector located at a distal end of the cable assembly opposite the first end, the first cable connector separably mated with the first inverter connector to receive the inverter AC power from the first inverter, the first cable connector separable from the first inverter connector to disconnect the first inverter from the cable assembly, a plurality of continuous conductors electrically connected to the first end of the cable assembly and the first cable connector, and a second cable connector electrically coupled to the plurality of continuous conductors via associated tap connections between the first end of the cable assembly and the first cable connector such that the continuous conductors are unbroken at the tap connections, the second cable connector separably mated with the second inverter connector to receive the inverter AC power from the second inverter and deliver the inverter AC power from the second inverter to the plurality of continuous conductors, the second cable connector separable from the second inverter connector to disconnect the second inverter from the cable assembly.
