Good afternoon.
I was wondering if it is possible to connect the SunControl board directly to the GPIO pins of a Raspberry Pi (Zero, in this case) using Grove-to-Dupont conversion cables (Grove - 4 pin Female Jumper to Grove 4 pin Conversion Cable (5 PCs per Pack) - SKU: 0074-GRVCABFEM-DSBT, for example)? I would rather not add a Pi2Grove board to this project, but notice a documentation note about "buffered connections and voltage translation" and wanted to inquire if those were mandatory features needed for the SunControl board to communicate with a Pi.
As always, thank you immensely for your help.

Special Ed,
Yes, no problem with that. SunControl has 3.3V to 5V translation on JP1 and the external I2C header.
And you are using the correct Grove cables for the Raspberry Pi Zero.
