SPDT switch > 20A @ 32VDC?
I'm seeing SPDT toggles that are 20A at 125VAC Ebay 20A 125VACand some that are simultaneously rated to 21A at 14VDC DelCity 20A 125VAC But I want to switch a max of ~700W at ~30A, so maybe 23A? ...

Thinking some more about this, is there any inherent reason why you couldn't simply connect the power supply and the solar panels in parallel, possibly with a blocking diode or two if you're feeling particularly paranoid? Why have a switch at all?
:S
Of course. They will not be powered up simultaneously anyway.
The solar panels are portable and only plugged in when boondocking.
The Meanwell is plugged into either the truck's 120VAC inverter when travelling or to shorepower when not boondocking. Noway will I have the portable solar setup at these times.
And I already have Schottky diodes on its output to keep it from sucking 50ma or so from the batteries when unpowered. Maybe these will do something when the solar panels are plugged in?
Sigh. I'm feeling old.
