Installation & Compatibility
The SkyEnergi 32A 4 Pole DC Solar Isolator is designed for fixed installation in compatible solar PV systems, providing a convenient isolation point between solar panels and associated electrical equipment.
The four-pole switching arrangement allows suitable DC circuits to be disconnected using a single rotary control. The lockable handle provides additional security during maintenance or servicing.
Before installation, ensure the isolator's DC voltage and current ratings are suitable for the solar array configuration. The maximum permitted DC voltage depends on the manufacturer's specified contact arrangement and switching configuration.
Appropriate cable sizes, electrical protection and secure connections must be used in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions.
The IP65-rated enclosure provides protection against dust and water ingress when correctly installed, making it suitable for appropriately protected external installations.
Important: The 32A current rating alone does not establish suitability for every solar array. The isolator's DC voltage rating and switching configuration must also be verified before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
The SkyEnergi 32A DC Solar Isolator Switch provides a manual method of disconnecting solar panel circuits from associated electrical equipment. It is commonly used in campervan, motorhome, caravan and off-grid solar installations to allow electrical circuits to be isolated for maintenance, inspection and servicing.
Yes. The SkyEnergi 32A 4 Pole DC Solar Isolator is suitable for compatible campervan and motorhome solar panel installations. It provides a convenient isolation point between roof-mounted solar panels and the solar charge controller, allowing the solar supply to be disconnected when required.
A four-pole DC isolator contains four separate switching poles operated by a single rotary handle. Depending on the manufacturer's approved wiring configuration, these poles can be arranged to provide suitable isolation of DC circuits. The correct connection arrangement must be followed to ensure safe operation at the required voltage and current.
The SkyEnergi 32A DC Solar Isolator features an IP65-rated enclosure, providing complete protection against dust ingress and resistance to water jets. This makes it suitable for installations where protection against moisture and environmental exposure is required, provided it is correctly installed and sealed.
The SkyEnergi 32A DC Solar Isolator can be used with compatible 12V and 24V solar installations, provided the solar array's maximum open-circuit voltage and operating current remain within the switch's specified DC ratings. Solar panel voltage can be considerably higher than the nominal battery voltage, so the actual array specifications must be checked.
Yes. The SkyEnergi 32A 4 Pole DC Solar Isolator features a lockable rotary handle, helping prevent accidental or unauthorised operation. This is particularly useful during maintenance and servicing when the solar circuit needs to remain isolated.
A DC solar isolator is typically installed between the solar panels and the solar charge controller, allowing the incoming solar supply to be disconnected when required. It should be positioned in an accessible location and installed using the manufacturer's approved wiring arrangement, with suitable cable sizes and electrical protection.
No. An ordinary AC-only isolator should not be used to disconnect DC solar circuits unless it is specifically rated and approved for the required DC voltage and current. DC electrical arcs can be more difficult to extinguish than AC arcs, making correctly rated DC switching equipment essential for safe solar installations.
