The DC Disconnect will allow first responders, maintenance crews and installers to disconnect the high voltage PV at the source.

The STRCOM string combiner has a load-break rated DC switch in the core, that trips so fast it will break the circuit without an arc. The switch passed its test for UL508 and is also CSA approved.

These outdoor rated disconnects come in two sizes, one comes with 8 fused inputs, the other has 16.

“As soon as the 2011 NEC was released, Solectria Renewables worked to provide a solution to our customers that would be compliant,” said James Worden, CEO of Solectria Renewables. “We understand the importance of safety when installing and servicing solar arrays. The DC disconnect option provides this added safety component.”

About Wil

Hi my name is Wil. I have been doing sales, but my strength is hands on installation experience. I worked as a solar, residential and commercial electrician for the past 8 years in New Mexico (home of some the most strict electrical codes in the country). I have done many installs with the old school equipment, but now I am trying to catch up on the new stuff. It seems like everyday they offer more and more equipment. Most recently I have taken over the dealer accounts at Wholesale Solar, and I am loving it. I enjoy dealing with these installers and feel like it keeps me on my toes and up to date. I am still doing sales, taking calls and anything else they can throw at me!
