Solar PV Solutions
Designed with solar applications in mind, these products feature the ratings and unique capabilities required to protect people and devices in a photovoltaic (PV) system. These UL-listed products feature a significantly higher DC-switching capability than non-PV alternatives. Our selection of PV products includes various forms of circuit protection and disconnect means, rapid shutdown solutions, and even contactors and terminal blocks.

What are solar solutions?
PV systems introduce variables that normal systems do not need to account for. Examples of this include temperature cycling and the tendency to experience low currents at high voltages. These applications also demand high DC power switching. Solar solutions are designed to accommodate these demands.
Where are solar products used?
These solar/PV-rated devices are ideal for industrial-grade applications that make use of solar power. This falls mostly under two main categories:
- Rooftop Scale Applications
- String Combiner Box Applications
Who uses solar (PV) solutions?
Any industry that makes use of solar power has need of these devices in some combination. Some examples of industries that make frequent use of solar power include:
- Utilities
- Agriculture
- Telecommunications
- Chemical
- Textiles
- Building Control
Is it all solar?
Being PV-rated does not mean that you can only use these devices in solar applications. A large reason these items are PV-rated is due to their high DC voltage rating. Some examples of non-solar applications where some of these devices may be ideal include:
- Battery Banks
- Line Transmission
- Rail Industry
- Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
