Abstract
The junction box according to the invention includes a housing defined by a lower case and an upper case. A busbar substrate disposed within the housing includes a plurality of busbar substrates. The pier assembly is disposed on at least one of the lower case and one of the plurality of busbar substrates. The pier assembly either accommodates another of the plurality of busbar substrates or supports another of the plurality of busbar substrates. In one embodiment, the pier assembly is disposed on the lower case. In another embodiment, the pier assembly is disposed on one of the busbar substrates. In yet another embodiment, the pier assembly is disposed on the upper case. A method for assembling the junction box according to the invention includes providing a pier assembly for positioning a busbar substrate assembly and disposing a busbar substrate of the busbar substrate assembly in the lower case. The busbar substrate either receives the pier assembly therethrough or is supported on the pier assembly.
