Zusammenfassung:Apparatus for coupling power generated by a photovoltaic (PV) module to an output. The apparatus comprises a universal connector assembly, comprising a connector housing, adapted for coupling to the PV module, comprising means for coupling power from the PV module to a power module via a first plurality of connectors; and means for supporting the power module spaced apart from the PV module in a manner that exposes at least a portion of the power module facing the PV module to air and prevents the air from being trapped between the power module and the PV module, wherein the power module is a DC junction box, a DC/DC converter, or a DC/AC inverter.
