FINALLY Got This Done! DIY PV Junction Box for My Solar Setup
After months of planning, I finally finished building and wiring my custom DIY PV junction box! This isn’t your typical solar combiner box—I'm not combining strings but instead creating a clean, organized, and safe way to bring multiple PV lines into the house.
In this video, I’ll walk you through my layout process, the components I chose, and the step-by-step wiring. Whether you're building your own solar system or just curious how to manage outdoor PV cable entry with built-in safety features, this should give you some great ideas.
💰 Bonus: I’ll also compare the cost of this DIY junction box build to the pre-built combiner box I installed last year, so you can see how much you might save (or spend) depending on your route.
🔧 What’s included in the build:
- Waterproof enclosure
- Surge protection
- Inline disconnects
- Grounding points
- Future-proofing for expansion
