Marley has introduced a solar connector enclosure, the ArcBox, that is independently verified by the KIWA fire test laboratory and Loughborough University as a fire safety measure.
It works by simply snapping around a DC connector so that any electrical arc would be safely contained and could not spread to combustible materials in or around the solar installation. The ArcBox consists of two hinged halves that are lined with highly temperature-resistant refractory materials usually found in furnaces.
