Shoals Technologies Group
The BLA (Big Lead Assembly) takes all
the guesswork out of wiring a solar field. Using Shoals’ latest in-line fuse and wire manufacturing technology, they offer a site free of DC string combiners. The entire load is combined into a single pair of aluminum conductors running from the string combiner to the inverter. There’s no need to trench for DC feeders or hang string combiner boxes. And when terminated with the BAC connec- tor, the whole array is plug-&-play. www.shoals.com
