A pre-wired, waterproof (IP65) 1-string DC combiner box designed for 1000V solar systems. It provides essential safety features, including surge protection (SPD), overcurrent protection (fuses), and a DC circuit breaker to safeguard photovoltaic panels and inverters.
This APV model is a
DC Distribution Box configured for 1-string photovoltaic setups. It acts as a safety barrier between the solar array and the inverter, simplifying system wiring while preventing electrical fires or equipment damage. [
