Cut off switch with solar panels
I bought 4x 100 watt solar panels and a Renogy Rover MPPT charge controller. The Rover manual states: NEVER connect the solar panel array to the controller without a battery. Battery must be connect...

Can someone post a link of a good switch to shut off power from 270 watts of solar to the controller. Thank you.

This is all you need.
No, that is pretty much guaranteed to fry his charge controller. That is a battery disconnect, not a suitable switch for the wire between the panels and the charge controller.
