The function of intelligent DC combiner boxes

2025-10-08

In the solar photovoltaic power generation system, in order to reduce the connection between the solar photovoltaic cell array and the inverter, users can connect a certain number of photovoltaic cells with the same specifications in series to form photovoltaic strings, and then connect several photovoltaic strings in parallel to the smart photovoltaic combiner box. After converging in the smart photovoltaic combiner box, they are output through a DC circuit breaker and used in conjunction with the photovoltaic inverter to form a complete photovoltaic power generation system, achieving grid connection with the mains. In order to improve the reliability and practicality of the system, photovoltaic dedicated DC lightning protection modules, DC Fuses, circuit breakers, etc. can be configured in the intelligent photovoltaic combiner box, and working status indicator lights, lightning counters, etc. can be set up to facilitate users to timely and accurately grasp the working status of photovoltaic cells, ensuring that the solar photovoltaic power generation system can achieve maximum efficiency.

For large-scale photovoltaic grid connected power generation systems, in order to reduce the connection lines between photovoltaic modules and inverters, facilitate maintenance, and improve reliability, it is generally necessary to add DC combiner devices between photovoltaic modules and inverters. By using a photovoltaic combiner box, users can connect a certain number of photovoltaic modules with the same specifications in series to form one photovoltaic module string according to the DC voltage range input by the inverter. Then, several strings can be connected to the photovoltaic array lightning protection combiner box and output through lightning arresters and circuit breakers, which facilitates the connection of the subsequent inverter.

The intelligent photovoltaic combiner collection device is specifically designed for intelligent photovoltaic combiner boxes, used to monitor the operating status of solar panels in photovoltaic cell arrays, measure photovoltaic cell currents, collect the status of lightning arresters and DC circuit breakers, output relay contacts, and have sensor interfaces such as wind speed, temperature, and radiation meters. The device has an RS485 interface that can upload the measured and collected data and equipment status.
Compared to the first generation combiner box, current combiner box technology has evolved towards intelligent control. The combiner box technology can also be equipped with anti reverse diodes to ensure that the output does not reverse current; Both positive and negative poles are equipped with DC fuses to ensure the stable operation of subsequent working components; Four level circuit breakers are used in series to increase the voltage protection level; The application of self powered technology not only reduces the cost of the combiner box itself, but also lowers the consumption cost of independent power sources; Intelligent data collection device enables users to easily grasp the working status of each photovoltaic module. The outdoor combiner box adopts IP65 protection level to improve the safety and stability of system operation.
