PV Next – Next generation combiner boxes

With PV Next, Weidmuller offers the world's first combiner box concept based on a standardized printed circuit board design. This concept offers multiple advantages, like simplicity, safety, time savings, and cost reduction. The innovative concept covers approximately all of today's standard requirements, enabling PV installers to work faster and more cost-effectively. The integrated PUSH IN technology reduces assembly times and minimizes the risk of errors and the resulting consequences.

Our aim is to make your installation process easier, faster and safer. To do so, we offer a wide range of PV Next combiner box variants for all common inverter types. Find the matching combiner box for the most common inverter types below or find more variants in our Combiner Box Product Selector.

German Design Award Gold for PV Next

Our flexible and compact PV Next combiner box was honored with the German Design Award 2023 in Gold.

Your benefits at a glance

Easy

Easy

The unique PCB design allows for quick and easy integration of additional functions. For example, a switch can be integrated or a second MPPT can be connected directly to the first PCB.

Quick

Quick

With the PUSH IN connection technology, PV-Next offers the most straightforward and safest connection concept for cabling. Installation requires no crimping or special tools.

Safe

Safe

The intuitive design and PUSH IN connection technology make installation safer and quality assurance easier. The risk of screw connections with incorrect torque is eliminated – this risk is one of the main causes of fires.

Combiner Boxes - The most innovative concept for string inverters

Fits all inverter types

The product portfolio is designed to protect string inverters with 1 to 12 MPP trackers, and covers all common inverters available on the market.

Fused and non-fused

The fused version is optional for protecting the panels from reverse current. The PCB without additional fuses is slimmer.

Surge protection

All boxes protect your panels or inverters from surges. Type 1 arresters serve as standard protection on the PCB.

PUSH IN connection on board

Integrated, maintenance-free PUSH IN technology for the inputs/ outputs significantly reduces working time and susceptibility to errors.

Plug & Play connection

Choose the WM4 C connection for the ready-to-use box and reduce your operation time significantly. The other option is to choose cable glands for custom wiring.

Switch on request

For many solar engineers, it is important to have a switch on the box. It is not necessary in other areas. It's your choice!

Variable string bundling

With our cable grafting variants, you decide whether you want to bundle the strings or whether you want to remove the same number again. The sealing set that is included covers both options.

Covers all requirements

From 2IN, over 2MPPT up to 6MPPT or 6IN-1OUT up to 6IN-6OUT - we can now cover every requirement with our boxes.
