[0002] Combiner boxes play a central role in solar photovoltaic systems, collecting and transmitting the direct current (DC) generated by multiple solar panels to the inverter, simplifying the system structure and improving power transmission efficiency. Simultaneously, the overcurrent protection devices built into the combiner box, such as fuses or circuit breakers, effectively prevent electrical faults and ensure system safety. Furthermore, they also feature lightning and surge protection, shielding the system from extreme weather conditions. Some combiner boxes are also equipped with data acquisition modules, allowing real-time monitoring of the power station's operating status and enabling remote maintenance, further enhancing system reliability and ease of maintenance.

[0003] As photovoltaic power plants grow larger, the size of combiner boxes also increases, requiring the collection of more cables. Traditional combiner boxes are directly installed on the poles, which is difficult to install and the poles have poor stability. Utility Model Content

[0009] A limiting bracket for preventing cables from being inserted into the inlet in a sequential manner is located below the combiner box and connected to the lower crossbar.

[0010] A further improvement of this utility model's centralized combiner box assembly is that the tops of both columns are higher than the upper crossbar, and the upper crossbar and the tops of both columns are connected by diagonal bracing.

[0050] Preferably, the base plate 502 is also connected to a cover plate for protecting the cable 6. The cover plate is detachably connected to the base plate 502, and a space is formed between the cover plate and the base plate 502 for the cable 6 to pass through. The bottom of the cover plate has a through hole for the cable 6 to be inserted.
