1. A method for employing a cable holder assembly, comprising:
positioning a cable holder assembly against a solar module frame having an upper member, a vertical member, and a lower member with a flat surface, where
the cable holder assembly includes a cap having an upper aperture and a base having a lower aperture, at least one channel, and a plurality of flat surfaces that are substantially planar to one another; and
applying a tightening force to a coupling device extending to the lower aperture through the upper aperture, thereby
imparting a clamping force between an upper portion of the cap and a lower portion of the base when the solar module frame is clamped to the cable holder assembly, whereby
each one of the at least one channel is enclosed by the flat surface of the lower member.
