Abstract:
An apparatus of a junction box component housed in a junction box and designed to be coupled to a power generator. The junction box component may include one or more bypass mechanisms configured to bypass one or more substrings of the power generator in a case of malfunction or mismatch between the substring and the remainder of the power generators. The one or more bypass mechanisms may generate heat which may be transferred out of the junction box. The junction box component may be designed to conduct the heat towards the base of the junction box and/or the cover of the junction box. A heat dissipation mechanism may be mounted on the base and/or the cover. A bypass mechanism may bypass the entire power generator.

Claim (Index 13):
A junction box comprising:\n a base comprising a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is configured to be mounted to a photovoltaic panel, the second side includes a plurality of connectors and circuitry, the plurality of connectors are adapted to electrically couple substrings of a photovoltaic generator to the circuitry, and the circuitry is configured to bypass a substring, wherein the circuitry includes:\n a plurality of bus bars adapted to electrically couple each of the plurality of connectors to a separate bypass mechanism, wherein the plurality of bus bars are configured to function as multi-directional heat spreaders; and \n a first output conductor and a second output conductor, each configured to output power harvested from the photovoltaic panel, wherein the first output conductor is coupled to a first bus bar and the second output conductor is coupled to a second bus bar; and \n a cover comprising a first side and a second side, wherein the first side of the cover is configured to cover the second side of the base and the first side of the cover includes a bypass mechanism configured to electrically couple to the first bus bar and to the second bus bar of the base when the cover is placed over the base.
