DAVIS, Calif.--(Business Wire)-- Blue Oak PV Products, a division of Blue Oak Energy, has launched the Homerun Disconnecting Combiner Box product line for commercial and utility scale photovoltaic projects. These unique electrical safety devices increase photovoltaic system safety and serviceability by allowing the solar array circuits to be de-energized at the array. Installers, maintenance crews, and first responders can now safely disconnect the solar array at the source. This design allows designers and installers to create independently operated sections of a solar electric system. The increased granularity keeps more of the solar array working during service and ultimately results in higher overall production. The lockable, built-in disconnect also decreases confusion during installation and maintenance. The Disconnecting Combiner Box contains a load-break rated, high power switch and the required fuses to protect individual solar array circuits. The product line integrates multiple components into a single enclosure, offering increased safety, simplicity and cost savings. "Our new product line fills a long-standing need for those who are deploying solar electric technologies," said Ryan Zahner, General Manager for Blue Oak PV Products. "We are committed to delivering a safe and reliable future for rooftop and ground-mount solar electric systems." The Commercial Photovoltaic product line is certified to stringent UL 1741 standards for safety inverters and controllers in independent power systems in the USA. This product family is also certified for projects in Canada to CSA C22.2 for general use power supplies.
