Not having much luck coming up with a suitable DC rated switch for the solar panel wires that connect to the controller. I am not real sure what the max voltage and amps I would see in these wires with the panels series/parallel wired. I have been looking for a DC rated switch with a minimum of a 40V and 10A rating and screw terminals. Would this be satisfactory?
You'll see 36-40V and max 5-6A before controller. This is a low current and you will rarely flip this switch, only when you're working on controller or battery. Household AC switch should be fine, but most surface-mounted 110V switches are big and ugly.
Or indeed a cheap battery disconnect switch.
