A distribution board (also known as panelboard, circuit breaker panel, breaker panel, electric panel, fuse box or DB box) is a component of an electricity supply system that divides an electrical power feed into subsidiary circuits while providing a protective fuse or circuit breaker for each circuit in a common enclosure.
A small metal, plastic or fiberglass junction box may form part of an electrical conduit or thermoplastic-sheathed cable (TPS) wiring system in a building. If designed for surface mounting, it is used mostly in ceilings, concrete or concealed behind an access panel—particularly in domestic or commercial buildings [2].
Certified and labelled for use in areas with specific hazardous conditions: for indoor and outdoor use in locations classified as Class II, Groups E, F, or G as defined in NFPA standards such as the NEC. 10: MSHA.

An earth-leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) is a safety device used in electrical installations to prevent shock.It consists of either a current sensing mechanism, or a voltage sensing mechanism.
They do not provide the level of circuit protection required by the NEC (National Electrical Code). Homeowners should be alerted to this safety defect and advised to have it corrected. FPE Stab-Lok circuit breaker panels should be replaced unless the occupants are informed and willing to live with the resulting increased risk of fire and injury.
Several countries have specific regulations for the recycling of solar panels. [153] [154] [155] Although maintenance cost is already low compared to other energy sources, [156] some academics have called for solar power systems to be designed to be more repairable. [157] [158] Solar panels can increase local temperature.
A heat pump uses an electrically driven compressor to operate a refrigeration cycle that extracts heat energy from outdoor air, the ground or ground water, and moves that heat to the space to be warmed. A liquid contained within the evaporator section of the heat pump boils at low pressure, absorbing heat energy from the outdoor air or the ground.
