Even though that use is not a listed method for using that disconnect? In order to be in compliance with its listing for use up to 600VDC, you have to run a string through two blades in a disco.

It does have a fuse kit but I try to keep 2 strings max on each mppt-80-600 to avoid fuses. With that disco you could have 3 mppts. Use one inside the building and one outside.
