I would not want the high voltage DC in side the power distribution myself. It needs to be outside the building or outside and inside in a separate box. This is an offgrid strategy that may not be as important grid tied. I did find a link to a company I used that had as many 600vdc switch contacts as anyone could need and will post it later. --Dave
