ArcBox: the device designed to add extra protection to your solar kit

Part of our mission is to offer as many solar solutions as possible to our community, in order to help optimize solar installations to the fullest.

Our solar kits meet the highest standards of quality, warranty, and performance, but an extra layer of safety is always welcome.

That’s why we introduce ArcBox, a compact accessory that adds an additional level of protection around the direct current (DC) connections in your installation.

What is ArcBox?

ArcBox is a safety device that fits around the connectors of your solar kit, such as MC4. It’s made from high-temperature resistant materials and is designed to contain the heat generated in the rare event of an electric arc, preventing it from spreading and causing a fire.

In addition, its design includes ventilation and drainage ports that help keep the connector at a safe operating temperature and prevent moisture build-up.

How does it work?

ArcBox features a patented design consisting of a hinged enclosure with two halves that close tightly around the connector, encapsulating it inside a heat-resistant material.

Once closed, the connector is suspended in the air, secured between two sealing grommets (inlet and outlet), through which the cables enter and exit.

How is it integrated?

Installing ArcBox is simple and doesn’t require any modifications to your system. It securely encloses the connector and mounts easily to the structure of any solar kit.

ArcBox is compatible with all of our mounting systems. It does not interfere with your existing installation and requires no maintenance.

When should it be used?

It’s been scientifically proven that plugin solar kits and battery storage, at the scale they are used for home installations, pose no real safety risk. Still, we offer this solution for added peace of mind.

ArcBox is designed to enhance the safety and cable organization of your solar system. It’s an excellent addition if you’re looking for complete confidence in your installation.

It’s also a smart way to extend the lifespan of your cables, as ArcBox offers extra protection by shielding them from weather exposure and moisture.

How is it built?

ArcBox is made from durable, heat-resistant materials. Its safety and performance have been independently tested and certified by KIWA, ZAG, and Loughborough University.

Technical specifications:

• Dimensions: 150 x 50 x 48 mm
• Weight: 410 g
• Operating temperature range: –40°C to +85°C
• Compatible cable sizes: 4 to 6 mm²
• Cable outer diameter: 5.4 to 6.4 mm
• Maximum connector length: 110 mm

Conclusion

If you’re looking to enhance the safety of your solar installation and extend the lifespan of your cables, ArcBox is a smart, well-designed solution.

With certified testing, easy installation, and broad compatibility, it fits perfectly with all of our solar kits, and with our mission to make solar energy safer, smarter, and more accessible for everyone.
