ACHIEVING SOLAR SUCCESS: CX SUPPORTS YOUR BALANCE OF SYSTEMS NEEDS

When it comes to solar energy, the focus often lies on the panels, inverters, and racking . However, a well-functioning solar power system requires a variety of additional components collectively known as the Balance of Systems (BOS). These elements ensure safety, efficiency, and longevity of the solar installation. Let's explore some critical categories of BOS components and their importance, while also showcasing how Connexion supports your solar projects at every stage.

Bonding and Grounding

Effective bonding and grounding are crucial for the safety and reliability of your solar system. These components help protect against electrical faults and ensure a stable electrical environment.

• Bonding Jumpers: These create electrical continuity between metal parts to ensure they are at the same electrical potential.
• Grounding Lugs: These create electrical continuity between metal parts to ensure they are at the same electrical potential.
• Bonding Washers: These ensure a solid and reliable electrical connection between surfaces, preventing potential electrical hazards.

Wire Management

Proper wire management is essential for maintaining system organization and safety. It prevents wire damage, reduces wear and tear, and makes maintenance easier.

• Cable Clips: These create electrical continuity between metal parts to ensure they are at the same electrical potential.
• Bundle Straps: These create electrical continuity between metal parts to ensure they are at the same electrical potential.
• Insulated: These ensure a solid and reliable electrical connection between surfaces, preventing potential electrical hazards.
• Stainless Steel: These ensure a solid and reliable electrical connection between surfaces, preventing potential electrical hazards.

Conduit Entry

Efficient conduit entry solutions are necessary for routing and protecting electrical cables entering and exiting various components.

• Pass-Through Combiner: This facilitates the safe and organized entry of multiple cables, combining their outputs for streamlined connection to the main system.

AC Distribution

AC distribution components are vital for managing and distributing the power generated by your solar system.

• Panelboards: These centralize control, distributing electrical power to various circuits.
• Disconnects: These devices allow for safe isolation of electrical equipment for maintenance or emergencies.
• Transformers: Transformers adjust voltage levels to match the requirements of different parts of the system.
• Switchboards: These control and distribute power to various parts of the installation, ensuring efficient operation.

Power Quality and Protection

Ensuring high power quality and protecting your system from electrical disturbances is crucial for long-term reliability and performance.

• Surge Suppression Devices: These protect your system from voltage spikes and surges, which can damage equipment.
• Line Reactors: These reduce harmonic distortion and improve power quality by smoothing out electrical currents.
• Fuses: Fuses provide overcurrent protection, preventing potential damage from electrical overloads.
• Cable Limiters: These protect cables from excessive currents by limiting the amount of electrical load.
• Power Quality Monitoring: Monitoring systems track power quality and identify issues before they become significant problems, ensuring optimal system performance.
