Abstract
A photovoltaic module lead foil connection system includes a wire having a fastener. The system can include a cord plate on a surface of the photovoltaic module where a conductive lead is adjacent to the module at the cord plate. The conductive lead provides external electrical access to the photovoltaic module. The system can include a fastener configured to electrically connect an end of a wire to the conductive lead at a junction mount within the cord plate.
