  2. Presentation Overview • Solar Industry Overview • Intro into Solar Photovoltaics • Types of PV Systems • Solar Product Offering • Solar Combiner Boxes • Solar Pass Through Boxes • Solar Cord Grips

  3. Solar Industry • Solar Industry Market • Expected to increase to $127B by 2016 • Driven by Renewable Energy acts • Federal and State funding • Rebates for extra energy consumption • Falling module and installation costs • ARRA certification The Solar Industry Is Big, Global & Growing! 3

  4. Solar Photovoltaic Systems Off-Grid Grid-Tie

  5. Off-Grid Solar PV Systems • Off-Grid PV systems • Stand alone system • Battery back up • Low voltage electricity generation 12, 24, or 48V • Typically provide DC power to smaller systems (lights, signs, etc) • “I don’t want to run power from the line side”

  6. Off-Grid Solar PV Systems

  7. Grid-Tied Solar PV Systems • Grid-Tied (on-grid) PV systems • System that is connected to a large independent grid (typically public) and feeds power into that grid • The electricity demand is met by the system and the excess is fed directly to the grid • Inverter is required to convert DC electricity to AC • Used in high voltage electricity generation – 600-1000V (buildings, residential rooftops, solar farms)

  8. Grid-Tied Solar PV Systems

  9. Solar Combiner Solutions Typical Grid-Tie PV System

  12. Solar Combiner Solutions

  13. Combiner Box Basic Offering • 600VDC continuous duty • UL1741 Listed • 90°C output terminals • Fiberglass enclosure provided as standard • UV absorber • Touch safe components

  14. Combiner Ordering Table

  15. Select Enclosure Type • Fiberglass N4X (standard) • Painted Steel N3R • Stainless Steel N4X

  16. Select Number of Input Circuits • Offered from 1 to 48 input circuits • Touch safe • Din Rail Mounted

  17. Select Fused or Not Fused • PV specific fuse • Offered in 8, 10, 12, or 15A • Rated at 1000VDC • Breaking capacity 33kA

  18. Select Integral Disconnect • Disconnect switches offered in 100, 200, 400A • Max current can never exceed disconnect rating • Save time, labor & space!

  19. Select Surge Protection • PV specific surge protection • Rated at 600VDC & 1000VDC • Rated 15kA per pole

  22. DC String Monitoring

  23. DC String Monitoring

  24. Additional Combiner Options • 1000VDC Rated Combiners • Custom & Complete Solutions

  25. CCH Solar Product Offering • Recombiners • Larger PV systems may require a need to combine the wires from several combiner boxes • Sometimes referred to as array or sub combiners • Consult factory

  26. CCH Solar Product Offering • Heavy Duty Disconnect Switches • 600VDC/ VAC • 30, 60, 100, 200A • 3 Pole 3 Wire • N3R & N4X • Fusible or Non-Fusible • *400A & 4 Pole available upon request

  27. Solar Pass Through Boxes

  28. Solar Pass Through Box • Used in residential applications • Provides low profile, cost effective solution • Transitions solar PV wire into traditional building wire • Designed for PV applications where over current protection is not necessary due to the low power rating of the PV string • Sometimes referred to as a “Transition Box” • Available in 3 and 4 circuit

  29. Solar Pass Through Box Fiberglass (N4X) enclosure provided as standard offering long dependable service in the most environmental conditions Rated 600VDC continuous duty Lightweight design offers easy mounting capabilities. Optional mounting feet are available for increased customer flexibility Constructed in accordance with UL1741 standards providing spacious wiring room for quick easy wire termination Skinned over glands offer flexibility to use from 1-13 available holes while still providing a liquid tight seal around the wire(s) Factory installed 9 or 13 Multi hole CG allows for entry of multiple PV wires

  30. Solar Non-metallic Cord Grips

  31. Solar Cord Grips • Used in residential applications • Multi-hole design allows for the entry of multiple PV wires coming into a combiner or pass through box • Provide mechanical strain relief as well as a liquid tight seal around the solar panel wires • Available in 1” (9 hole) and 1-1/4” (13 hole)

  32. Solar Cord Grips No disassembly required! Solar cord grips offer customer flexibility by allowing the termination from 1 to 13 PV wires in a single connector Skinned over glands provide a durable, liquid tight seal around the wires Multi-hole cord grip to allow for entry of multiple PV wires
