Distributing and protecting your power
These parts neither generate nor store electricity: they share current between your devices and limit risks when a fault occurs. A DC hub combines several sources, a parallel box links units together, a residual-current device cuts the circuit on a leakage, and a bypass diode protects a partly shaded solar panel.
The key is to choose an accessory designed for your equipment. Read the product page to see which power stations or batteries it connects to, and do not mix brands unless compatibility is clearly stated. Items in this category range from a few euros for a diode to several hundred for a hub, because these parts do not serve the same function. Compare the intended use before the price. If you are unsure about a connection, have the setup checked by a professional before switching anything on.
- Exact model of your power station or battery
- Type of current: direct or alternating
- Length and type of the supplied cable or connector
- Whether an electrician is needed for the connection
