    8/16/24 input channels and 160/300 A STC output currents
    • Range available with and without monitoring of string currents
    • On-field weather sensors easily connected inside the Array Box to avoid
    any additional equipment

    Easy to service
    • Conext ControlTM identifies the service needs of the Array Box
    • Motorized switch controlled remotely by Conext Control accelerates
    lock-out / tag-out procedure and allows an easy return to operation

    Easy to install
    • Mounting on a support bracket or on a plinth for independence to the
    racking system, or attached to the racking system for less civil work
    • Capabilities to directly connect up to 2 PV string cables and 2 DC
    output cables per polarity
