RODUCT DESCRIPTION

 

The Ilumen PIDbox Light is placed in parallel over the solar array strings. The power of the 
strings 

doesn’t 

go through the PIDbox. You can use one Ilumen PIDbox Light per 2 MPP trackers. 

From each tracker, 2 wires will need to be connected to the PIDbox Light. In section 6 of this 
manual a detailed description will be given to properly connect the PIDbox Light.
