Active Components is pleased to introduce DEGSON’s Photovoltaic Connector range, designed to support reliable connections across photovoltaic panels, DC wiring systems, and inverter-to-AC setups.
Understanding Photovoltaic System Connections
A Photovoltaic (PV) System Connection refers to the full range of connectors, wiring components, and protection devices that link solar panels to inverters, junction boxes, and energy-storage systems. These components are specifically designed to ensure safe, efficient, and weather-resistant power transmission within a solar installation. In other words, they are the backbone of a PV system, delivering stable electrical flow while protecting both the equipment and the installer.
Across New Zealand and Australia, solar adoption continues to grow rapidly as homeowners, businesses, and utility providers shift toward cleaner energy solutions. With this accelerating demand, the performance of every connection point becomes increasingly important. Even the most advanced solar panels cannot operate at their full potential if the connectors are poorly made, improperly rated, or unable to withstand harsh outdoor conditions.
Reliable electrical connections are therefore essential, not only for maximising system output but also for long-term operational safety. High-quality PV connectors help prevent common issues such as voltage drop, overheating, moisture ingress, or even electrical faults. By choosing the right connection solutions from the start, installers and system designers can ensure a PV installation that remains safe over decades and delivers strong returns on investment.

1. PV-DC Connectors (Input Side)
- PV-DC Standard
- PV-DC with Fuse
- PV-DC with Quick Wiring
These connectors ensure a secure and stable DC connection from solar panels to the combiner box or inverter. With features such as high current capacity, excellent waterproofing, and low contact resistance, Degson DC connectors reduce installation time while maximising energy efficiency.
2. Communication Connectors
- 12/18/26-pin PV Communication Connectors
- WiFi Cover for wireless applications
- 4-Pin Modular RJ45
These connectors ensure the inverter and monitoring systems remain reliably connected, supporting real-time system data, diagnostics, and smart home integrations.
3. PV-AC Connectors (Output Side)
- 3-Pin AC Connector
- 5-Pin AC Connector
- 10-Pin AC Connector
Once DC energy is converted, these connectors safely transmit AC power to the grid or battery system. Degson’s AC connectors are engineered for high temperature resistance, secure locking mechanisms, and robust insulation to ensure long-term safety.
Customised Waterproof Solutions
Active Components and Degson also support customised waterproof covers and enclosure protection, ideal for installations in coastal regions, high-UV zones, or environments with dust and moisture exposure.
