AIMS Power Disconnects

AIMS Power Solar PV DC Disconnect Switches

AIMS Power has been a trusted name in off-grid and renewable energy technology since 2001, and their line of DC disconnect switches reflects the same commitment to safety and system reliability that defines their broader product catalog. While AIMS Power is perhaps best known for power inverters, their Solar PV DC Quick Disconnect Switches are purpose-built components that play a critical role in any well-designed solar energy system.

Why Disconnect Switches Matter in Solar Systems

Safety and serviceability are the driving reasons behind every quality disconnect switch. Disconnect switches allow technicians and homeowners to isolate a solar array from the charge controller, batteries, and inverter — making maintenance, troubleshooting, or emergency shutoff far safer and more practical. In fact, some U.S. jurisdictions require a disconnect switch as part of a compliant PV installation. AIMS Power's offering addresses all of these needs in a single, rugged package.

AIMS Power DC1600V Quick Disconnect – Key Features

The flagship disconnect from AIMS Power is the Solar PV DC Quick Disconnect Switch, available in configurations rated up to 1600V and 64 amps. The switch uses two separate 32-amp circuits with MC4 connectors, supporting 4 poles and 2 strings in a single enclosure. What sets it apart from budget alternatives is a comprehensive certification portfolio: it carries CE, TUV, SAA, IEC, and ETL listings to UL standards, as well as RoHS compliance — giving installers the documentation they need for permitted builds.

• High-voltage rated: Handles up to 1600V DC, accommodating modern high-efficiency panel strings
• Dual-circuit design: Two independent 32A circuits with separate MC4 plug-and-play connectors
• Rapid arc suppression: Engineered to disconnect load circuits and suppress electrical arcs in under 5 milliseconds
• Outdoor-rated enclosure: Non-corrosive, UV-resistant housing built to withstand the elements
• Multi-certified: ETL listed to UL standards, CE, TUV, SAA, IEC certified, and RoHS compliant

Ideal Applications

AIMS Power disconnect switches are well-suited for a wide range of installations. They are a natural fit for permanent off-grid residential or cabin builds where the solar array may need to be isolated seasonally. They are equally valuable in RV and mobile power setups, where the ability to quickly and safely disconnect a rooftop array during transit or storage adds a meaningful layer of protection. Whether you are wiring a new system or upgrading an existing one to meet code, AIMS Power's disconnects slot cleanly into any system that already relies on AIMS inverters, charge controllers, or solar kits.

Built to Complement Your AIMS Power System

Because AIMS Power engineers their disconnects alongside their broader solar and inverter ecosystem, these switches are dimensioned and rated to work hand-in-hand with AIMS charge controllers and combiner boxes. For anyone building or expanding a complete AIMS-based power system, adding the appropriate disconnect switch is the logical next step — and one that protects the entire investment downstream.
