Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to a solar array kit for installation on a support structure, such as a roof. The kit includes photovoltaic panels that include active elements, edge pieces that connected around and to the photovoltaic panels, a starter piece, and one or more electrical connectors that electrically connect the photovoltaic panels to one another.

Abstract: The present invention is premised upon a connector device and method that can more easily electrically connect a plurality of PV arrays and/or locate these arrays upon a building or structure. It also can optionally provide some additional components (e.g. a bypass diode and/or an indicator means) and can enhance the serviceability of the array.
