I can't figgure out how he is connecting the microinverter to the home ac?
the M215 has some propritary connector on the end.
I know you can buy $400 to $1200 lengths of the special bus cable, but for heavens sakewhat if you just want to install one panel?
One could just hack off the end, but that would void the warranty, what part/connector can one order to accomplish a singel panel install?

    cHi Roland,

    In another post here, referring to the Grape solar panels, saw this on the linked CostCo site:

    It may not work for your envisioned single Enphase unit, it may not really available in singles, and so on ... but, lll

    Have Fun, Vic

    The M215 trunk cable is supposed to be cut to desired length. Then you terminate it in a junction box - just like a M190/210/380 install.

    If you only want enough trunk cable for one panel - you just need to find a reseller that will sell you cables by the connector. There are at least a couple that do already.
