TEAL Electronics, a San Diego based subsidiary of SL Industries, Inc., introduced its newest product line, the TEALsolar™ Configurable Combiner Box for commercial and utility scale Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems.

The TEALsolar Configurable Combiner Box is available in 8-string, 12-string, 16-string, 20-string, 28-string, and 36-string systems, and the standard configurations include a DC Disconnect and TVSS (transient voltage surge suppression) device integrated into the unit. The DC Disconnect and TVSS device can be optionally removed. Fuses also come standard, and are available up to 30A per string in the 8-string and 12-string units, 25A in the 16-string unit, 20A in the 20-string unit, 15A in the 28-string unit, and 10A per string in the 36-string unit.

Enclosure options available are NEMA 3R, 4 or 4X enclosures in Painted Steel, Non-metallic (Fiberglass), and Stainless Steel. Additionally, the TEALsolar Configurable Combiner Box provides more internal working space than most products, enabling easier installation and wiring of the units in the field.

"TEAL Electronics is very excited to launch our initial Combiner Box product family, the TEALsolar Configurable series. This initial launch of the Combiner Box family is targeted toward the commercial and utility-scale PV plants that need a reliable product designed to meet their needs," said Don Klein, President of TEAL Electronics. "For over 25 years, TEAL has been a leading supplier to many OEM markets that require high reliability, high performance, and cost effectiveness of custom and semi-custom power subsystem products. The TEALsolar Configurable Combiner Box provides a flexible product platform that fits very well within our business model. We offer unmatched customer service and support, and look forward to serving the Solar PV market for many years to come."
