Marley’s new solar connector enclosure, ArcBox, is designed to further drive safety standards as the number of solar PV installations surge in the wake of the Part L regulation changes.
As solar PV installations escalate, it is important that the highest standards are followed when it comes to safety. To support its full roof system solution, Marley has further expanded its SolarTile® Roof System offering with the launch of its award-winning solar connector enclosure, ArcBox.
A solar connector enclosure, ArcBox has been designed to further enhance safety across all types of solar PV installations.
While the risk of electrical fire caused by solar PV is extremely low, nonetheless ArcBox can be key to delivering added peace of mind for specifiers and homeowners.
ArcBox works by simply snapping around a DC connector. Independently verified by the KIWA fire test laboratory and Loughborough University, ArcBox ensures that should an electrical arc occur, the issue is safely contained and does not spread to potentially combustible materials in or around the solar installation.
Simple to install, ArcBox can be used on all types of solar panel installations including bolt-on mounted, tray and roof integrated systems. It is suitable for new solar projects in both domestic and commercial settings such as factories, schools, hospitals, or care homes, and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) solar projects, or any building where DC cabling must be installed in the vicinity of roofing made of combustible materials.
