THERMOSTATICALLY CONTROLLED TERMINAL BOX AND PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER GENERATION SYSTEM UTILIZING THE SAME

摘要

A system comprising a photovoltaic module and a terminal box. Two terminals of the box output voltage generated by the photovoltaic module. A thermal switch shorts the two terminals in response to temperature rise to a threshold temperature and is structured to prevent short-circuit due to the temperature rise of the normally operating photovoltaic module and bypass diodes in the terminal box.
