2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the upstream connector comprises a rib extending from a protrusion, and wherein the protrusion defines the first mating hole.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising resting the rib of the upstream connector onto the support ledge.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising attaching the support ledge at an offset from the first support member.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the upstream connector comprises a protrusion that defines the first mating hole.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downstream connector comprises a protrusion that defines the second mating hole.

7. A method of assembling a backplane connector subassembly for a module of a modular energy system, wherein the backplane connector subassembly physically and electrically connects at least two modules stacked on top of one another, the method comprising:

providing a back panel defining an inner surface;

attaching a first set of two support members to the inner surface of the back panel, wherein the first set of two support members is configured to support an upstream connector;

attaching a second set of two support members to the inner surface of the back panel, wherein the second set of two support members is configured to support a downstream connector;

attaching a set of two support ledges to the inner surface of the back panel between the first set and the second set of two support members;

attaching the upstream connector to the back panel by sliding first and second mating holes defined in the upstream connector onto the first set of two support members; and

attaching the downstream connector to the back panel by sliding first and second mating holes defined in the downstream connector onto the second set of two support members.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the upstream connector comprises a first rib extending from a first protrusion and a second rib extending from a second protrusion, and wherein the first protrusion defines the first mating hole and the second protrusion defines the second mating hole.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising resting the first and second ribs of the upstream connector onto the set of two support ledges.

10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising attaching the set of two support ledges at an offset from the first set of two support members.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the upstream connector comprises a first protrusion that defines the first mating hole and a second protrusion that defines the second mating hole.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the downstream connector comprises a first protrusion that defines the first mating hole and a second protrusion that defines the second mating hole.

13. A method of assembling a display assembly for a header module of a modular energy system, the method comprising:

providing a rear enclosure defining a recess and a plurality of notches;

forming a display sub-assembly by coupling a touchscreen to a front cover, wherein the front cover comprises a plurality of latches;

releasably coupling the display sub-assembly to the rear enclosure by positioning the plurality of latches of the front cover in the plurality of notches of the rear enclosure; and

coupling a latch mechanism to the rear enclosure, wherein the latch mechanism is configured to releasable couple the display assembly to the header module.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the rear enclosure comprises a first electrical connector, wherein the touchscreen comprises a second electrical connector, and wherein the method further comprises electrically coupling the first electrical connector to the second electrical connector.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein coupling the latch mechanism to the rear enclosure comprises:

positioning a slider bar in the recess;

positioning a mounting plate in the recess;

coupling the mounting plate to the slider bar; and

coupling the mounting plate to the rear enclosure.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the mounting plate comprises a first aperture and a second aperture, wherein the slider bar comprises a mounting hole and a pin extending therefrom, and wherein coupling the mounting plate to the slider bar comprising:

positioning the pin in the first aperture;

aligning the second aperture with the mounting hole;

extending a fastener through the second aperture and into the mounting hole; and

coupling the fastener to the mounting hole.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the rear enclosure further defines a first aperture and a second aperture, wherein the latch mechanism comprises a first arm and a second arm, and wherein the method further comprises extending the first arm through the first aperture and extending the second arm through the second aperture.
