DC Combiner Boxes for photovoltaic systems The DC Combiner Box collects and distributes the string currents from the solar panels. In addition, the DC Combiner Box monitors the system performance and protects the individual modules against damage from overvoltage.
The challenge
Maximum availability
Specialists who design and build photovoltaic systems face the challenge of achieving maximum availability and performance of photovoltaic systems. The important factors here are collecting and distributing string currents, protecting the individual modules against damage from lightning and overvoltage, and monitoring the performance of the system.
The solution
Tailor-made solution concepts for open-field PV systems
The DC Combiner Boxes from Phoenix Contact satisfy this demand and also feature a space-saving housing. Our monitoring system for photovoltaic strings enables you to respond immediately to malfunctions and power losses, even when individual strings fail.
