CString Combiner Boxes

String Combiner Boxes (SCBs in 1000VDC)

Efficient Solar String Integration.

Key Features

  • Combines multiple PV strings.
  • Rated for 1000V DC solar systems.
  • Integrated surge and overcurrent protection.
  • IP65/IP66 weatherproof enclosure.

Product Description

String Combiner Boxes (SCBs) are essential components in large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. They consolidate multiple solar panel strings into a single output, simplifying the wiring process and reducing the number of input terminals on the inverter. Designed for 1000V DC systems, SCBs ensure efficient, safe, and organized DC power distribution from solar arrays to the inverter.

These boxes are equipped with critical protection elements like DC fuses, surge protection devices (SPDs), and disconnect switches to safeguard the system against overcurrents and transient surges. Housed in rugged, UV-resistant, weatherproof enclosures, SCBs are suitable for outdoor installations in harsh environments, delivering long-term durability and performance.

String Combiner Boxes

String Combiner Boxes (SCBs in 1500VDC)

High-Voltage PV Integration.

Key Features

  • Designed for 1500V DC solar systems.
  • Combines multiple PV string inputs.
  • Built-in surge and overcurrent protection.
  • Rugged weatherproof enclosure.

Product Description

String Combiner Boxes (SCBs) for 1500V DC are specialized devices used in utility-scale solar PV installations to combine several photovoltaic string outputs into a single DC output. These boxes reduce cabling complexity, enhance system reliability, and improve power collection efficiency. Designed for high-voltage DC applications, they are built to withstand demanding operational conditions.

Each SCB integrates protective components such as fuses, DC isolators, and Type II/III Surge Protection Devices (SPDs), ensuring safe and stable operation. Housed in robust, UV-resistant enclosures with IP65 or higher ratings, these SCBs are suitable for outdoor environments, including high-heat and high-dust areas. Optional remote monitoring capabilities provide additional visibility into system performance and fault detection.
