Why You Need a DC Disconnect Switch in Solar Systems
A DC disconnect switch is critical for solar systems because it isolates live DC circuits, preventing electrical hazards during maintenance. Unlike AC switches, DC isolators are specially designed to stop continuous direct current and safely extinguish electrical arcs, which can otherwise cause serious damage or fire risks.
