Patent ID: 8227942

Claim:
A cable assembly for delivering a combined power from a plurality of solar inverters to an alternating current (AC) grid, the cable assembly comprising: a first end to deliver the combined power from the plurality of solar inverters to the AC grid; a first cable connector located at a distal end of the cable assembly opposite the first end, the first cable connector configured to plug with and unplug from an inverter output connector of a first solar inverter of the plurality of solar inverters; a plurality of continuous conductors electrically connected to the first end and the first cable connector; and a second cable connector electrically coupled to the plurality of continuous conductors via a tap connection located between the first end and the first cable connector such that the continuous conductors are unbroken at the tap connection, the second cable connector configured to plug with and unplug from an inverter output connector of a second solar inverter of the plurality of solar inverters.
