I use the first one for the disconnect switch for my solar panels. I do this because my panels are portable and it's not a good idea to plug and unplug the panels with power in the wires. my switch is ratted for 150A @ 12v. I like it because the switch cannot be live(turned on) unless the key is inserted and turned. highdesertranger

 Where in the set up did you place the disconnect switch.

I'm headed for portable panels as well and would never have thought about not connecting/disconnecting them with power in them.

 

[B and C]

You don't need a switch for portable panels.  Lay the panel(s) out upside down.  Connect everything and then turn the panel over.

I installed mine right before the controller. you can do it like B and C said also. but mine are easier to do with a switch. highdesertranger

If you don't want to or can't lay the panels upside down, would it be practical to throw a blanket or towel over them until they're hooked up?

 

[highdesertranger]

I would imagine you could throw a blanket over them. for me a switch was easy. highdesertranger

I used several of the first (key style) in hot rods as a cheap anti theft device or to isolate portions of a system.

The second (battery mount) I consider junk and more of a problem than solution- most are so poorly made that conduction is compromised and vibration can create a make and break condition, the plating is crap as is the casting.

No experience with the third, but suspect it is quality.

I would want to know that they were rated for the amperage they would be subjected to.
