ELECTRICALLY ISOLATED HEAT DISSIPATING JUNCTION BOX

摘要

A junction box used for making electrical connections to a photovoltaic panel. The junction box has two chambers including a first chamber and a second chamber and a wall common to and separating both chambers. The wall may be adapted to have an electrical connection therethrough. The two lids are adapted to seal respectively the two chambers. The two lids are on opposite sides of the junction box relative to the photovoltaic panel. The two lids may be attachable using different sealing processes to a different level of hermeticity. The first chamber may be adapted to receive a circuit board for electrical power conversion. The junction box may include supports for mounting a printed circuit board in the first chamber. The second chamber is configured for electrical connection to the photovoltaic panel. A metal heat sink may be bonded inside the first chamber.

1. A junction box comprising a first chamber and second chamber designed to be mounted to a photovoltaic panel, wherein:
the first chamber comprises a circuit board designed to convert electrical power from one or more power outputs of the photovoltaic panel; and the second chamber comprising an electrical connection designed to receive the electrical power from the one or more power outputs of the photovoltaic panel, wherein the first chamber is configured to disconnect from the photovoltaic panel without disconnecting the second chamber from the photovoltaic panel.
