For us solar illiterates, where does that box go in the system? Is that the same as a “charge controller”?

A diagram is worth a thousand words.
This is the combiner, meaning, it receives multiple solar panel power inputs and outputs a single pair of power cables that has the cumulative current of all panels.
Within it you will find a fuse for each panel, a lightning arrester and a GFI

It’s a little grainy, but the meter says 20+ volts?
Making progress! You’re going to have it all installed before you know it!

Did you ever install the solar panels? Would love to see pics. I plan to put solar on my 34w.
