NEW DISCONNECTING COMBINERS! (COMING SOON)
Feb, 28, 2012
We here at MidNite Solar, America’s number one combiner manufacturer, are proud to announce our new line of Disconnecting Combiners! These Combiners are all designed to meet and exceed the 2011 NEC requirements.
With over 60,000 combiners sold, MidNite Solar continues to lead the industry into the future with our new safer, smarter, fully featured disconnecting combiners.
As always, all of our enclosures are made from powder coated aluminum with stainless steel hardware. No steel, fiberglass or plastic to rust or degrade when exposed to the elements. With our large, user friendly, red aluminum handle the proper operation is obvious at a moments glance! Our new NEMA 4X and 3R enclosures are available in a wide range of sizes to suite virtually any application.
Several of our models are even field configurable for use with Isolated as well as non isolated type inverters and can also accommodate two separate inverters with one disconnect switch. This allows the stocking of fewer models for a wide variety of applications.
With the addition of the MidNite Solar Multi-Source Power Supply, multiple remote disconnects can be installed on a system. When these remotes are connected together with our custom 600v Cat5 USE-2 cable, any of the disconnects can be used to simultaneously shut off all of the Disconnecting Combiners that are hooked up.
Check them out here.
Or discuss them on our forums here.

THE MIDNITE SURGE PROTECTOR
Jan 27, 2012
The MidNite Solar lightning arrestor has passed testing at ETL. Listed to UL1449 rev3 in all 3 models.
Making an arrestor such as the MidNite SPD is no simple task, nor is it cheap. We have had many surprises along the way on this project.
The MidNite SPD is a great replacement for Delta arrestors that have been the mainstay of the industry for many years. A very interesting comparison between the MidNite arrestor and other arrestors will be forthcoming once the product is listed. This comparison should prove to be a real eye opener.
The UL standards have changed and the old standbys will soon no longer be legal to install. The MidNite surge protectors are designed to clamp surge voltage to safe levels for sensitive electronics. Other arrestors do not even begin to clamp surge voltages until 7000 or 8000 volts. What are they protecting? Not much. Be aware that numerous arrestors are about to flood the market. They for the most part posses 1/8 the strength of the MidNite arrestors and have no visible indication of performance. Most of these new arrestors require din rail mounting where they WILL blow up and will then be out of sight while they are protecting nothing. Where as we, on the other hand, do not have these issues.

SPD COMPARISON
Jan 24, 2012
Here at Midnite Solar, Mario has engineered a great SPD or Lightning Arrestor. Our SPD’s are a huge improvement over the little gray, less sophisticated arrestors that have been used in the Solar industry for many years. To prove this point, our President/Owner Robin Gudgel went to Sonoma California to World Products LLC to test our 115v, 300v and the 600 volt SPD’s. World Products LLC has a complete applications and component testing laboratory for use by their customers to check new products. Robin met with Leonard Drewes, the engineering manager and also Jim Hagerty, VP of sales, to test the SPD’s in the lightning test facility generator.
Midnite Solar’s SPD300 clamped at 910 volts @3000 amps, which will save your equipment. The little gray one never clamped at all, it let 7200 volts pass right through while not even noticing anything was happening. Most inverters can handle up to 2500 during a transient surge before they fail.
The Midnite Solar SPD will protect your inverter, charge controller and household appliances and keep you safe. Our lightning arrestors use 8 movs, that can withstand a 56,000 amp power surge per section. Each MNSPD has 2 sections. The blue LED indicators can be seen from outside the combiner or on the solar system electronics as well as next to your main power distribution box using our Flush mount cut in box. The MNSPD’s are ETL listed to UL1449 3rd edition.
For more information check out the SPD Comparison Video.
