First Claim
Patent Images
1. A box for connecting a ribbon output conductor of a solar panel with a feed cable, the box comprising:
- a base mountable on the solar panel and formed with a first hole for the ribbon output conductor and a second hole for the feed cable, the first hole being dimensioned such that the ribbon conductor can engage through it in either of two positions at a predetermined angle to each other;
a removable cover fittable with the base and forming when fitted with the base a substantially closed compartment; and
two holders at the first hole oriented at the predetermined angle to each other and adapted to hold a conductive part of the feed cable in either of two positions offset by the predetermined angle and extending across the first hole such that the conductive part of the feed cable can be held by the holders in a position crosswise of the direction in which the ribbon output conductor is engaged through the first hole in either of the positions of the ribbon conductor.

8. A box for connecting a ribbon output conductor of a solar panel with a feed cable, the box comprising:
-
a base mountable on the solar panel and formed with a first hole for the ribbon output conductor and a second hole for the feed cable; a removable cover fittable with the base and forming when fitted with the base a substantially closed compartment; and two holders at the first hole oriented at an angle of 90°
to each other and adapted to hold a conductive part of the feed cable in either of two positions offset by the angle relative to the first hole, each of the holders comprising a pair of clips flanking the first hole, each of the clips being U-shaped and adapted to grip the conductive part of the feed cable with the conductive part extending across the first hole and the ribbon conductor extending through the first hole and wrapped at least partially around the conductive part.
