Load Break Disconnects

The Shoals™ BLA Disconnect series is an essential part of our innovative BLA system, and is compliant with NEC 2014 standards. Providing isolation using a 100% load-break rated disconnect, these disconnect boxes remove the fuses and fuse holders from inside traditional combiner boxes and move them to the harness, where the cooler surrounds allow their more reliable performance.

Lab-proven under full load during static heating sequence testing, the BLA Disconnect is designed for maximum durability and years of uninterrupted, real-world service. Field installation time has been slashed, space for cable terminations generously increased, and O & M torque points reduced by up to 63%.

Chattanooga, TN

This 8 MWac solar project was built in 2012 and provides 13.5 GWh annually to Volkswagen’s Chattanooga manufacturing and assembly plant. Volkswagen (VW) selected Silicon Ranch as its solar partner based on its ability to bring together TVA, Electric Power Board of Chattanooga, and local government officials to agree on a unique approach toward achieving their sustainability objectives, as well as Silicon Ranch’s proven track record in successfully completing complex transactions. Solar is the most visible component of VW’s overall carbon reduction and energy strategy.
