What does Combiner Box mean?

A combiner box brings multiple electrical circuits together into one output circuit and may include overcurrent protection or disconnecting means.

Why might a solar system need a combiner box?

Combiner boxes can simplify wiring, protect circuits, and consolidate connections, but they also add hardware and installation steps. More boxes are not automatically bad; they just deserve a reason to exist.
