William:
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.

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...
