Potting Junction Box Handles Increased PV Power

January 26, 2017 by Jeff Shepard

TE Connectivity now offers the SOLARLOK PV Bar, a new potting junction box for solar crystalline panels. Designed with improved robustness and reliability for handling increased power output, it is TUV and UL approved for voltages of up to 1500V and has been engineered to maximize lifetime with three times the IEC standard aging tests.

The four precisely-shaped contact rails are arranged in an extended 3D layout to optimize thermal balance. To provide the lowest contact resistance possible, the contact rails are manufactured with almost pure copper enabling longer life and higher power output. Maximum lifetime is further ensured by the use of welded connections inside the SOLARLOK PV Bar junction box.

Key benefits include: Harvest extra power with advanced thermal balanced junction box; Engineered to maximize product life cycle with 3-times the IEC standard; Achieve long and high power output with contacts made of nearly 100% pure copper; and Ensure power continuity with tuned and strengthened diodes.
