What is a DC Distribution Board (DCDB)?

Safe & Efficient DC Power Distribution for Solar PV Systems

A DC Distribution Board (DCDB) is a critical electrical panel used in solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants to combine DC power generated from multiple solar PV module strings into a single output. It provides essential protection and controlled power flow before DC power reaches the solar inverter.

AAVAD Instrument Pvt. Ltd. manufactures high-quality Solar DC Distribution Boards (DCDB) designed to meet stringent safety, performance, and reliability requirements of modern solar power systems.


Purpose of DCDB in Solar Power Plants

The primary purpose of a DCDB is to protect costly solar inverters and downstream equipment from electrical hazards such as:

  • Direct and indirect lightning surges

  • Overcurrent and short circuits

  • Reverse current flow

  • DC cable faults

By isolating and protecting each PV string, the DCDB ensures safe, stable, and uninterrupted solar power generation.


How is DCDB Made?

AAVAD DCDB panels are engineered with a comprehensive combination of DC protection and distribution components, including:

  • DC fuses for individual PV strings

  • Surge Protection Devices (SPD)

  • DC MCBs / DC isolators

  • Reverse blocking diodes

  • MC4 connectors for secure cable termination

The enclosures are manufactured using polycarbonate or CRCA sheet enclosures, offering excellent protection against dust, vermin, moisture, and harsh outdoor conditions. PG glands and MC4 connectors provide proper cable entry and exit with strain relief.

AAVAD DCDB panels comply with IEC 61439-1 standards, earning trust from reputed solar power developers and EPC companies across India.
