Switzerland HUBER+SUHNER offers a wide range of tailor-made connectivity systems for solar module manufacturers. These consist of pre-fabricated junction boxes with cables and connectors which are fixed to the rear side of the modules and connect them to the inverter. As a result of the diodes’ positive heat-conducting properties, the modules feature optimum protection from the temperature increase which occurs in ‘reverse mode’. Low-loss connectors and thermal insulation between module and box ensure that the power generated can be used in a more efficient manner, thus increasing operating efficiency. The high quality of the materials used and their careful processing ensure that the connectivity systems require no maintenance for the entire duration of their lifetime. All boxes feature a reliable flat design, facilitating simple handling and efficient installation. HUBER+SUHNER designs and manufactures the boxes in accordance with customer requirements, offering optimised logistics. HUBER+SUHNER RADOX Solar boxes have to date been supplied to module manufacturers such as Conergy, Suntech and other innovative manufactures of high quality panels. HA3 box – certified for North America Solar boxes HA3 and RH3 have been developed especially for high-performance modules, both have also a TÜV approval. Thanks to thermal insulation between the junction boxes and the modules, constant high power is guaranteed. The junction boxes are characterised by a high degree of functional safety over their entire lifetime, as well as by extremely low power dissipation. They are designed for both manual and automated production and optimised in accordance with customers’ requirements. The RH3 box is designed in an extremely space-saving way; the contacts can be soldered or welded, guaranteeing high connectivity quality. In addition, the HA3 box is equipped with brackets to accommodate the connectors. This simplifies transportation and logistics considerably. The HA3 connection system has already been certified in accordance to “UL 1703. Additional boxes are currently undergoing the UL certification process. The dual rating of the connectivity systems makes it possible to use the same boxes in the American, European, and Asian market. HF0/HF1 box and HO1 box for thin-film modules The HF0/HF1 box and the HO1 box that is currently still at the development stage, are designed especially for use on thin-film modules. Both boxes are extremely small and space-saving due to their compact and robust construction. Yet they meet the requirements of the relevant standards, in particular those regarding heat conduction in ‘reverse mode’. Grouting provides both the module and the box with effective protection, ensuring trouble-free operation throughout the entire lifetime of installations. TÜV and UL certified All RADOX solar connectivity systems offer the renowned and long-established properties of HUBER+SUHNER solar products. Their robust design, high quality and tried-and-tested design ensure reliable connectivity over the entire lifetime of an installation – even in the case of harsh environmental conditions. All HUBER+SUHNER solar products are developed on the basis of the latest technical knowledge and the relevant TÜV and UL requirements. The conventional and proven RADOX solar cables have passed the more stringent TÜV re-qualification requirements. Our products are developed to ensure constant high levels of functionality over the entire lifetime of installations, thus simultaneously ensuring optimum safety. Outlook In regards to future requirements of the solar market HUBER+SUHNER is constantly developing new solutions for thin film applications with the goal always to create best customer benefits.
