Depending on the system layout, the first and last module in a string would require different male – female preparations. For

the first module, plug the transition cable into the AC cable plug or mid-cable receptacle. For the last module, cover the AC

cable plug or mid-cable receptacle with female or male end cap depending on the system layout. Installer must ensure that the

cable does not touch the roof. Examples are shown below:
