I am planning an off grid system. Many of you have helped to this point with the choice of inverter. I decided to gamble and try an KISAE SW1210 1000W Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter. I will test it well before I take it to the Dominican Republic to set it up. The specifications compare well with the Xantrex PROwatt 1000.

Now moving on to DC circuit protecting. The specs call for 150A fuse and a disconnect switch on the DC side. I ordered a 150 amp fuse and block but in searching for a switch I discovered a Disconnect/Circuit Breaker that is available up to 150 amp.(http://www.solar-electric.com/mr60ampdccib.html).

What kind of disconnects and fuses are do some of you use?

Thanks,

John
