LOW PROFILE PHOTOVOLTAIC (LPPV) BOX

摘要

A low profile photovoltaic connection system (10) for placement in space restricted areas. The connection system includes a connection box, diodes, and heat sinks inside of the connection box. The heat sink element is maintained in contact with the diode element such that the heat sink dissipates heat externally of the junction box and the contacts (12) are arranged with a flat surface parallel to the solar panel to reduce vertical elevation of the junction box when mounted to the solar panel.
