A method of mounting an electronic control module to a solar panel of a solar power generation system provides for ease of installation with a reduced parts inventory. The methods electrically connect an electrical connection of the electronic control module to the solar power generation system with one or more cables extending from an electronic control module housing, and a pair of identical cable clips configured for attachment of a standard cable to a frame of the solar panel are used to secure either the cables or protrusions extending from the housing to a frame of the solar panel with the cable clips. The electronic control module may include an electronic circuit, a housing surrounding the electronic circuit, the cables extending from the electronic circuit and through the housing, and protrusions extending from the housing and having a cross-sectional profile configured to approximate a cross-sectional profile of a standard cable.
