Answer to Question 1

A combiner box provides an enclosure or electrical connections from all the solar energy panels can be completed. The combiner box is normally located very close to the solar panels. A combiner box is used so that all electrical connections are made close to the solar panels, and our all-in-one electrical enclosure.

Answer to Question 2

The steps involved installing solar panels on the ground include the following; identification of a location or site that allows access from main highways, installation of electrical conduits underground or overhead, laying out and pouring concrete pads if the ground cannot support mounting hardware directly, pouring concrete pads for transformers and switchgear, delivering electrical switch gear, and inverter's, transformers, and other electrical gear required to connect to the grid, mounting solar panel hardware on concrete slabs, or directly into the ground, mounting solar panels onto the mounting support hardware, connecting electrical wiring to combiner boxes, connecting electrical wiring to disconnects and switchgear that connects the system to the grid.
