The "anderson" type switches are available with UL recognition but often 
only that means only that the plastic material was tested as suitable 
and maybe a temperature rise test was completed.  It is very different 
than being "listed".  I strongly advise that the battery disconnect 
should be externally accessible in a safe manner to allow shutting down 
in the case of an emergency.  

Check out the OutBack PSR "power system rack" - it will hold up to 
twelve group 31 sealed batteries along with the 175 amp breaker and 
three additional PV disconnect breakers.  This allows all of the DC 
breakers to be grouped togehter and allows disconnection of each PV 
array individually. It works well with the AEI's built in GFP system. 

The PSR is ETL listed as a photovoltaic accessory item under UL1741.  We 
also offer an outdoor kit for the PSR that meets the rain and sprinkler 
test and a siesmic zone 4 kit.  There is an optional mounting bracket 
that allows the AEI multimode to be mounted on the side of the PSR - 
eliminates all wall mounting and the problems with conducting inverter 
noise into the house.
