This paper describes the design, development, and deployment of a smart distribution box enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT) with the goal of improving defect detection, power monitoring, and overall energy management in single-phase residential power applications. The electrical distribution landscape is rapidly evolving with the integration of smart technologies, transforming traditional distribution boxes into intelligent, connected devices. These innovations improve system reliability, safety, and operational efficiency by enabling real-time monitoring. Digital technologies such as Cloud Computing, Big Data, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Industry 4. Our DC combiner boxes offer users the possibility to integrate short-circuit and overvoltage protection, as well string monitoring solutions (I,V, T and SPD and switch isolator status), for PV systems using central inverters with PV panels in trackers and fix tilt systems. A solar power distribution box is an essential component in photovoltaic systems, serving as a central hub for managing and distributing electrical power generated from solar panels.
