Anyone have recommendations for Pushbutton Switch sourcing that you found worked well for Rapid Shutdown? I have a Solar with battery install using SolarEdge Backup interface and need to find a pushbutton switch to use for RSD initiation. Lots out there but many seem pretty expensive for such a simple device. I found this one at Automation Direct. I don't want to buy junk but don't want to get ripped off either. I plan to mount it next to BUI enclosure and 1/2 or 3/4 nipple into side of BUI, and put the decal on the BUI.

Do a search for >emergency push button with cover<. There are varieties for interior/exterior/wet/dry/etc. I'd suggest one with a cover-- I wouldn't think you want a Rapid Shutdown to be -too- easy to trigger!

Do you want your button to be so obvious-- sticking up like a sore thumb? Or more like this: plainly visible, but not something you'll bump into accidentally!
