-Combiner boxes are used to bring together [[Special:MyLanguage/Series and parallel|series]] strings of modules with [[Special:MyLanguage/Series and parallel|parallel]] connections, to transition to larger or different [[Special:MyLanguage/Conductor types|wire types]] and to serve as an [[Special:MyLanguage/Disconnect|equipment disconnect]] for the PV source.

A combiner box could be as simple as a basic junction box with [[Special:MyLanguage/Wiring practices|wire nuts]] to a pre-manufactured box with multiple overcurrent protection devices and a remote disconnection switch.
