  Benefits:

  • Ensures safe and reliable connection of multiple solar panel strings
  • Prevents damage from overcurrent and short circuits with resettable MCBs and quick-replace fuses
  • Protects sensitive solar equipment from voltage spikes using SPD
  • Durable waterproof design suitable for harsh weather conditions
  • Simplifies solar system wiring and maintenance

  ---

  Pros:

  • High-quality protection components integrated
  • Weatherproof and UV-resistant enclosure for outdoor use
  • Easy to install and maintain with wall or panel mounting options
  • Compatible with common solar connectors and cables
  • Compact design saves space in solar installations

  ---

  Cons:

  • Limited to 8 input strings, may not suit very large solar arrays
  • Requires basic electrical knowledge for installation and maintenance
  • SPD protects against Type 2 surges but may need additional protection for extreme conditions

  How It Works:

  1. Solar Panel DC output (1 string) is connected to the combiner box.
  2. The DC power flows through the fuse, then through the MCB, and finally through the SPD.
  3. The SPD protects the system by diverting sudden voltage spikes to ground.
  4. The combined and protected output is then sent to the inverter/charge controller.

Key Description:

• Combines up to 8 solar panel strings into a single DC output
• Integrated 2-pole DC MCB and fuse protection for each string
• Type 2 SPD safeguards against voltage surges caused by lightning or switching
• IP65-rated, weather-resistant enclosure suitable for indoor and outdoor use
• Compatible with MC4 connectors and standard solar cables
