“Our new product is UL 1741-Listed, which means that we are offering one of the highest tested combiner boxes on the market,” says Greg Paukert, product manager, TE. “In addition, the combiner box is made from the same UL F1 UV-rated material as our popular solar connectors that TE has been manufacturing for over 20 years.”
The high-performance UL F1 UV-rated material protects the product from harsh impacts and environmental “wear and tear” -- extending its overall life in outdoor environments.
Components included in the combiner box are TE threaded SOLARLOK grounding bolts to establish easy, reliable ground paths and TE solar identification labels, which meet NEC solar requirements. All components (grounding bolts, connectors and identification labels) are established TE products that are UL-recognized.
