Solar Switch
Hi All - When I installed my solar setup I put an in-line fuse between the panels and the charge controller, but unfortunately, it's on the roof. Never occurred to me I might want an easy way to shut...

So what about something like this this ? It has the advantage of fitting in the small space I have and can be screwed right into the wall below the controller.
It would probably work for disconnecting purposes, but given the price, source, and quality, I'm not sure that I'd trust it's actual overcurrent capabilities. However, I've been surprised before.
By the way, others on this forum might want to take the time to check out Section 90.2(A) of the Natiinal Electrical Code as to it's applicability to RV's. Yes, it's difficult to adhere to all of it's provisions when installing PV on an RV, but the overall provisions for safety and good design are valid nonetheless. While no firefighters will be going on the RV roof, it's avoiding the need for them to show up in the first place that is the overall goal.
