SOLARLOK Photovoltaic Interconnection Systems
TE Connectivity UL and TUV approved SOLARLOK product portfolio delivers a flexible solution for easy and reliable interconnections of solar thermal and photovoltaic applications, including crystalline modules, thin-film modules, shingle/tile, BIPV and the balance of system (BOS).
TE Connectivity's new SOLARLOK PV4 connector provides reliable solar connections for a wide range of applications. This connector solutions, which is easy to assemble and mateable with the with the typical connectors and tooling in the market, offers lower contact resistance compared to our standard line and thus maximizes the total power output.
The Micro SOLARLOK system consists of a miniature, low–profile junction box with integral leads. Designed for emerging space–efficient thin–film and roof–shingle photovoltaic applications, the junction box's low 9.3–mm height saves considerable space compared to the 15– to 20–mm heights common in the industry.
UL 1741-Listed, Five-String, Pre-Wired Combiner Box For Residential Use
The five-string combiner box offers 30-second, error-proof terminations through factory pre-wired TE SOLARLOK connectors, which have polarity keyed housings to help prevent mismating. Additionally, its light-weight, low-profile design, which includes four pre-drilled knock-out selections, offers installation flexibility in residential applications.
TE Connectivity introduces one of the smallest junction boxes in the Photovoltaic (PV) industry -- the SOLARLOK slim junction box. This 15.5 mm by 52 mm junction box distributes DC power to a solar panel in a convenient, compact design that minimizes visibility on the back of a panel.
A new four-rail compact medium junction box for terminating foils of a PV panel has recently been released by TE. Featuring an extremely low profile and a segmented solder area, this junction box saves potting material for the solar industry OEMs when connecting the foils on their solar panels.
The SOLARLOK straddle edge junction boxes are small profile, modular design junction
boxes developed for BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) applications. These junction
boxes can be mounted at the edge of the crystalline and thin film glass-glass solar panel
modules. This series of products consists of junction boxes, plus socket connector, minus
socket connector, end socket connector and cable assemblies.
The SOLARLOK locking collar connector accessory is applied to the fully mated cable
coupler male and female connectors. This connector latch locking collar helps to prevent
any access to the cable coupler release feature thus making accidental disconnects a
thing of the past. In order to release the connector latch locking collar, a simple flathead
screwdriver will need to be inserted into the screwdriver slot, lifted and slid back to
expose the connector squeeze to release wings. This action will open the locking
accessory and qualify as a “tooled extraction.”
TE Connectivity labels are designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments. The labels can be exposed to rain, intense sunlight, UV rays, snow, ice, cold temperature, sand, salt spray and condensation from fog. The solar labels meet the requirements of the IEC 61215 / IEC 61646. The Solar Rating Labels are designed to meet the industry needs by providing a white printable area to add important system information such as maximum system voltage and system current.
The TE Connectivity SolKlip grounding clip brings a new ground connection solution to the market by utilizing well-known insulation displacement technology. ... Termination times are measured in seconds using the pre-mounted TE SolKlip grounding clip, thereby saving time and reducing labor costs
These bolts are designed for solar module grounding applications using solid copper
uninsulated 6 AWG to 12 AWG wire. The grounding assembly consists of a wire bolt (wire slot
on one end and threaded post on the other), wire binding hex nut, and mounting hex washer
nut. The grounding assembly is used with metal–framed photovoltaic (solar) panels and
related products that require grounding for safety reasons.
Photovoltaic solar energy systems consist of a PV-generator
(solar modules) and a power inverter with a connection to the power line. The advantage of these systems is that the
solar energy can be fed into the public power grid and energy can be taken out of the network if necessary. It is
precisely at the feed-in interface to the power grid that electromechanical relays find their main application area.
Safety measures require an automatic switching unit with circuit break function between the generating equipment
and the feed-in point into the power grid. TE offers a variety of relays for your solar application needs.
TE Connectivity SOLARKLOK product portfolio delivers a flexible solution for the
interconnection of crystalline and thin-film modules used in rack mounted, shingle, tile
or BIPV applications. Our growing presence in the PV industry is backed by our ability
to provide innovative, extensive, and high-quality products that are designed to meet
your individual needs. We can provide you with solutions ranging from ultra-low profile
or high temperature-rated junction boxes to specialized interconnects.
SOLARLOK products deliver a flexible system solution for easy
and dependable interconnections from photovoltaic modules to
the DC/AC converter. The entire system concept is based on
cost-effective and quality processing of individual interconnection
system components. This significantly reduces installation costs
of the solar energy system.
