MidNite Solar Birdhouse Disconnect Control Switch

The heart of the Birdhouse system are MidNite Solar's disconnecting combiners (sold separately). which features an electrically tripped disconnect switch. The trip signal from the Birdhouse is applied via a 600 volt rated CAT-5 cable to the disconnecting combiner. There is two way communications between the combiner and the Birdhouse so that if the combiner is tripped this will be reflected by the Birdhouse.

• Reflective side labels clearly identify the Birdhouse as the solar shutoff point

• The Birdhouse has a remote trip input and a software activated relay to interface with other equipment such as a fire alarm system
