A dc disconnect shuts off the current from the panels to the inverter. In a grid tied pv system the national electrical code nec 690 15 requires disconnects to be used on both the direct current dc and alternating current ac side of the inverter. Can be installed on a new system or retrofitted on any exi.

The ac disconnect is used to separate the inverter from the electrical grid. An ac disconnect shuts off the current between the inverter and the ac power grid.
