Overview

The String Combiner Box combines the multiple DC input coming from the panel termination and converts these into one DC output. It provides additional protection with input fuses & surge protection devices. Operation and maintenance is made easier using DC switches. These solutions are customizable. Solar PV string combiner & monitoring box is one of the most critical components in the solar plant. It is the first junction point wherein multiple strings from the PV modules are collated to give a single output to the inverters. It is a fully customizable box ranging from 1 input to 32 inputs & can be designed at voltage levels 600 VDC, 1000 VDC, & 1500VDC.

A string monitoring box is an intelligent combiner box wherein monitoring of each strings is possible i.e. a plant owner can monitor individual string current, voltage, SPD status, DC switch status, Temperature inside the box etc. Combiner Boxes take multiple source circuits and combine them in a single output. They are usually found between the modules and the inverter.  Sertel Combiner Boxes are known for its clean and well thought-out design. Available options include disconnect switches or contactors, surge arrestors, various enclosure IP ratings, and other features. Sertel Combiners can accommodate up to 36 input circuits at 600 VDC, 1000 VDC, or 1500 VDC. All sertel Combiner Boxes are listed to EN 61439-2:2011
