Nick,
Could you post a diagram showing when a male whip is useful? I'm
having a really hard time envisioning a need for one.

Your diagram is one way to do it, in fact, I always divide my
circuits into 2 sub-circuits, to minimize voltage drop on the Enphase
wiring, and then parallel the sub-circuits at the j-box. However,
there is a value to having a male cable. They can simplify some
installations, such as the situation that Eric described. As mentioned
before, the extension cable can be cut, and the other end is used as a
standard whip.

[RE-wrenches] EnPhase male whips
Eric:
You connect the factory provided termination kit to the Enphase array
on
each roof. All of the Enphase inverters on one array do not need to
be in a daisy configuration.
I have attached a drawing hat should illustrate

I know
its a funny title but....why
doesn't EnPhase make whips with male connectors? We are having trouble
laying out a system with multiple sub arrays. We need to cable to sub
arrays that are on different roof planes in order to make up our
circuits. From 5 micros on roof one, into attic, out of SolaDeck on
roof
two, grab 3 more micros, back into SolaDeck, into attic for home run.
The
whip from the SolDeck to the last 3 micros needs to be male... any
suggestions? EnPhase does not want us to cut an extension that has
connectors on both ends...
Thanks,
