## Abstract

An electrical service interface system include a configurable device and inverter mounted to an equipment tower, wherein each of the configurable device and inverter include alignment devices configured to rollably mount the configurable device and inverter to corresponding guides mounted to a support pad, and to align the configurable device to the inverter, and the inverter to the equipment tower. In an installed configuration, the configurable device electrically and mechanically couples to the inverter via a DC connector and one or more mounting systems, and the inverter mechanically and electrically couples to the equipment tower via an AC connector and one or more mounting systems.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electrical service interface system comprising:
a plurality of guides mounted on a support pad, and oriented with respect to and abutted against an equipment tower, the equipment tower also being mounted on the support pad;
a configurable device comprising an enclosure; and
a first set of alignment devices mounted to and extending outward from a bottom side of the first enclosure, each of the first set of alignment devices being disposed within a longitudinal groove in a first of the plurality of guides;
wherein each guide wheel is configured to roll longitudinally along one of the plurality of guide rails, such that the first enclosure and second enclosure rollably mount to the support pad.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising a second set of alignment devices rotatably mounted to and extending outward from the bottom side of the first enclosure, each of the second set of alignment devices being disposed within a longitudinal groove in a second of the plurality of guides.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising a third set of alignment devices rotatably mounted to and extending outward from a bottom side of the second enclosure, each of the third set of alignment devices being disposed within a longitudinal groove in the first of the plurality of guides.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising a fourth set of alignment devices rotatably mounted to and extending outward from the bottom side of the second enclosure, each of the fourth set of alignment devices being disposed within a longitudinal groove in the second of the plurality of guides.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, further comprising a configurable system disposed within the enclosure.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the first enclosure further comprises a mounting system configured to mechanically couple to the equipment tower.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The system of claim 6, wherein the mounting system is located on enclosure and couples to an equipment tower.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the configurable device further comprises a connector accessible through an aperture located in a side of the enclosure to electrically couple to the equipment tower.

### Claim 9

An configurable device comprising:
an enclosure;
a mounting system disposed on a side of the enclosure; and
a mounting system on an enclosure, to mechanically couple to the equipment tower;
wherein the set of alignment devices comprises a first set of alignment devices rotatably mounted to and extending outward from a bottom side of the first enclosure, each of the first set of alignment devices being disposed within a longitudinal groove in a first of the plurality of guide rails, and a second set of alignment devices rotatably mounted to and extending outward from a bottom side of the second enclosure, each of the second set of alignment devices being disposed within a longitudinal groove in the first of the plurality of guide rails.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The configurable device of claim 9, wherein the enclosure abuts to the equipment tower.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The configurable device of claim 9, wherein the enclosure comprises a connector to electrically connect to the equipment tower.
