  • Patent number: 11968776
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of assembling a backplane connector subassembly for a module of a modular energy system. The backplane connector subassembly physically and electrically connects at least two modules stacked on top of one another. The method includes providing a back panel defining an inner surface, attaching a first support member to the inner surface of the back panel, attaching a second support member to the inner surface of the back panel, attaching the upstream connector to the back panel by sliding a first mating hole defined in the upstream connector onto the first support member, and attaching the downstream connector to the back panel by a sliding a second mating hole defined in the downstream connector onto the second support member. The first support member is configured to support an upstream connector. The second support member is configured to support a downstream connector.

  • Publication number: 20220317750
    Abstract: Disclosed is a modular energy system that comprises a first module, comprising a first panel, and a first connector attached to the first panel. A portion of the first connector extends past a first edge of the first panel. The modular energy system further comprises a second module, comprising a second panel, and a second connector attached to the second panel. The second connector is aligned with a second edge of the second panel, and the second connector defines a cavity. The second module is coupled to the first module, wherein the portion of the first connector that extends past the first edge of the first panel is positioned within the cavity defined by the second connector.
