Direct answer
PV fuse holders and gPV fuses protect PV strings from reverse current in parallel string systems. They are commonly used inside combiner boxes.
Fuse rating should follow string current and system voltage. The holder, fuse and enclosure heat condition need to be reviewed together.

FAQ
When does a PV string need a fuse?
Fuses are commonly needed when parallel strings can feed reverse current into a faulted string. The system design decides the requirement.
Can fuses be supplied already installed in a combiner box?
Yes. That is often cleaner than buying holders and fuses separately.
