Is there a readily available breaker blank I can use in my Midnite Solar MNPV3 combiner?
I would like to use it as a junction box only and blank out the breaker location. I think maybe a Square D homeline might work but unable to verify. Has anyone used a breaker blank in Midnite solars deadfront panel?

    A  small piece of sheet metal on the inside and 2 sheet metal screws is what I do.  Looks fine and passes inspection.

    Thanks Dave, I will give that a try. It would be nice if there was one that would snap in place like panel manufacturers have.

    I kind of always have felt that offgrid folks need to be very independent and do things for themselves.  It is the meaning off offgrid, I think.
    Probably works well in alot of things these days😉

    Good post there.
    I just ended up cutting steel cover plates to size and  fastening them with a screws, as I had one inspector that would only accept the cover plate thickness as his rule of thumb to get him to sign off on an install.
     No code rule there, but you have to please an inspector from time to time.
