Solar combiner box
Anyone made there own combiner box if so how and what did you use. Am solar has one for $80 but I am sure it can be built for a lot less.

I've just started building mine. Found a 5X7 weatherproof box on-line that didn't already have holes in it. I glued an automotive type fuse block inside that holds up to 6 fuses. For the grounds I'm just using a ground strip picked up at the local hardware store. All the wiring will be brought into the box with waterproof strain reliefs that I also picked up on line. 10g wire coming in from each panel, 6g dropping down to the controller, 5 panels hooked in series. The fuse box is pretty small so I debated using a 4X4 box but it would have been pretty tough to run all the strain reliefs into it.
