Technical FAQs 4

What is a combiner box?

A combiner box is a key DC distribution device used between PV strings and the inverter. Each string consists of solar modules wired in series, and the combiner box gathers multiple strings into a single output while ensuring safety and system efficiency. Current Collection: Consolidates DC output from 6–24 strings into busbars.

How many PV string inputs can a combiner box support?

A standard combiner box supports 6–24 PV string inputs, with typical current per string ranging from 10–20A. Key features include: Reverse current protection is essential when module shading or mismatched strings cause imbalance. 2. Multiple Layers of Electrical Safety Protection These protection layers significantly reduce system downtime.
