What each component does and why it matters for safety, uptime and serviceability.

Provides string-level overcurrent protection. Limits fault energy and isolates a faulted string to keep the rest of the array online.

Typical: 10×38 mm

Clamps lightning- or switching-induced surges to protect downstream equipment. Coordinated with fuse for safe disconnection under fault.

Type II (or I+II)

Enables safe load-break isolation and maintenance. HS uses a DC disconnector; HD integrates a breaker/MCB for trip indication and reset.

Load-break DC rated

UV-resistant, outdoor-rated enclosure with cable glands or MC4 entries. Keeps dust and water out for long-term reliability.

IP65/66 class

Standards and ratings may vary by model; see each product page for exact specs.

What is a PV Combiner Box?

A PV combiner box aggregates multiple DC strings into one or more outputs and integrates protection and isolation. It improves safety, uptime, and makes installation & service faster.

Why it matters
  • String aggregation reduces cable runs and simplifies layout.
  • Integrated protection limits fault energy and protects downstream equipment.
  • Built-in isolation enables safe maintenance and rapid troubleshooting.
  • Factory pre-wired options shorten install time and improve consistency.
Where it’s used
  • Residential rooftop (1–2 strings)
  • Commercial & industrial rooftops (2–6 strings)
  • Ground-mount arrays and carports
  • Retrofits that require standardized protection & isolation
Install & service
  • Label strings clearly; keep cable routing tidy and strain-relieved.
  • Bond enclosure to earth; verify torque on fuse holders, SPD, and terminals.
  • Check polarity and insulation resistance before energizing.
  • Record I–V and protection settings for future maintenance.

Application Guidance — When to choose HS vs HD

Quick tips by site type: typical string counts, outputs, switchgear preference, and enclosure notes.

Residential rooftops
1–2 strings 1 output

For compact arrays or hybrid inverter homes, HD is often preferred for the breaker/MCB convenience (trip indication & reset). Choose HS if a dedicated DC isolator is required by local spec. Enclosures: IP65/66.

Explore models in the grid above.
Commercial & industrial
rooftops
2–6 strings 1–2 outputs

For multi-MPPT inverters and higher power density, HS (with disconnector) is commonly specified; HD fits sites that prefer an integrated breaker/MCB. Pre-wired / pre-assembled options reduce install time.

Typical: select models based on strings and outputs.
Ground-mount solar farms
2–6 strings feeder combiner

Long runs benefit from centralized HS combiners. For utility-scale feeders, verify protection class and cable sizing. IP66 enclosure helps in harsh environments.

See the Protection Stack for standards, then pick models.
Solar carports & parking
2–4 strings 1–2 outputs

Weather-exposed structures often use IP66 boxes. Choose HD for breaker reset convenience, or HS where an isolator is mandated. Works for off-grid EV canopies as well.

Datasheets & Wiring Diagrams

Each HS/HD model provides a full specification sheet with torque settings and rated values. Wiring diagrams show string inputs, fuse positions, SPD location, and the isolator/breaker layout.

Installation Guide

  1. Mounting: fix the enclosure on wall/rack/backplate; confirm outdoor rating (IP65/66).
  2. Wiring: route strings via glands; tighten terminals to rated torque; follow polarity labels.
  3. Bonding & Grounding: connect protective earth; verify continuity to fuse holders, SPD, and chassis.
  4. Verification: record I–V data; check SPD indicators; test disconnector/breaker operation before energizing.

Commissioning tip: follow IEC 62446 recommendations for documentation and testing.

Service & Maintenance

  • Fuses: replace blown gPV 10×38 mm (or rated equivalent) only.
  • SPDs: check visual status; replace pluggable cartridges if tripped.
  • Switch/MCB: operate periodically (no-load) to keep contacts clean; confirm trip/reset on MCB types.
  • Enclosure: inspect seals, glands, labels; clean surface and verify ingress protection.

Recommended interval: every 6–12 months or after severe weather events.

FAQ

Common questions about PV combiner boxes, selection, and maintenance.

What is a PV combiner box and why do I need it?

A solar PV combiner box (also called a PV combiner box) merges multiple DC strings into one or two outputs, integrates protection (gPV fuses, DC SPD) and isolation (disconnector/MCB), and provides a safe service point. It reduces field faults and simplifies commissioning.

Browse models in SEC2 Product Range.

What’s the difference between HS and HD series?

HS integrates a DC switch disconnector (per IEC 60947-3) with Fuse + SPD; HD uses a breaker/MCB with Fuse + SPD. Choose based on isolation preference, trip indication needs, and site standards.

Learn more: DC Disconnector · DC Breaker/MCB.

How do “X in Y out” and “X string” naming relate?

HS pages use the X in Y out format (e.g., 2 in 2 out) to reflect outputs; HD pages use X string counts (e.g., 2/3/4/6 string). This keeps navigation clear and avoids keyword overlap across pages.

Examples: HS-2/2 · HD-4/2.

Which voltage ratings are supported?

Typical builds support 1000 V DC and 1500 V DC. Final selection depends on array open-circuit voltage (VOC) and inverter DC limits. We can verify for your project at /contact-us.

What protection devices are inside?

A standard stack includes gPV fuses (string over-current), DC SPD (surge protection), and a main isolator or DC breaker for safe maintenance.

Deep dives: /dc-fuse · /dc-spd · /dc-disconnector · /dc-breaker.

How do I choose between 1 or 2 outputs?

Use 1 output for a single MPPT or single DC input. Select 2 outputs (e.g., 2 in 2 out, 4 in 2 out) for dual-MPPT inverters or when split runs reduce cable loss.

Can I mix different string currents or lengths?

Best practice is symmetrical strings (same module count/orientation). If mixing is unavoidable, size fuses for the highest backfeed current and confirm SPD UCPV margin to array voltage.

How are fuses and SPDs maintained?

gPV fuses are field-replaceable. SPDs have visual indicators and, on many builds, pluggable cartridges. Inspect during inverter service windows and after severe weather.

Do you provide wiring diagrams and labels?

Yes. Each model’s “Specs & wiring” anchor includes diagrams, torque values, labeling, and tightening sequence. Start from SEC2 Product Range or contact us for project files.

Where can I learn about the standards you reference?

See IEC Webstore for IEC 60269-6, 61643-31, 60947-3, 61439-2. For North America builds, consult UL Standards.
