A control device may comprise a plurality of buttons, a plurality of light sources located behind the respective buttons and configured to illuminate the buttons, a light detector circuit configured to measure an ambient light level around the control device, and/or a control circuit configured to control the light sources to adjust surface illumination intensities of the respective buttons in response to the measured ambient light level. Each button may comprise indicia indicating a function of the button. The control circuit set the first button as active and the second button as inactive in response to an actuation of the first button. The control circuit may, based on the measured ambient light level, control the light sources to illuminate the first button to an active surface illumination intensity, and to illuminate the second button to an inactive surface illumination intensity that is less than the active surface illumination intensity.

A disconnect system for a solar installation shuts down power upstream from an inverter, so that it is safe for solar field personnel to perform work related to a solar installation. The system actuates multiple disconnect devices in one motion by a linkage assembly which can associate 2-4 disconnect switches with a single handle. This system preferably includes hardware and logic for monitoring the current and voltage output of electrically coupled combiner/recombiner boxes in the solar field, and for wirelessly transmitting this data to a user. A single disconnect cabinet can accommodate 2-20 inputs from associated lead assemblies and/or recombiner lead assemblies with 5 handles or less.

The operator desk includes at least one work top having one main work surface with a longitudinal main extension. The work top is attached by at least one leg arrangement extending between the desk top and a base foundation; at least one first set of display monitors arranged on a mount supported by at least two supporting legs and having one lower side facing towards, and one upper side facing away from the base foundation. The supporting legs with adhering first set of monitors are movable along a first extension. The operator desk further includes at least one light-emitting element contained in a casing attached to the upper side by at least one mounting arm. A central control device adjusts the mounting arm so that the light-emitting element maintains a desired position along the first extension when the supporting legs with adhering display monitors are moved along the first extension.

A control device may comprise a plurality of buttons, a plurality of light sources located behind the respective buttons and configured to illuminate the buttons, a light detector circuit configured to measure an ambient light level around the control device, and/or a control circuit configured to control the light sources to adjust surface illumination intensities of the respective buttons in response to the measured ambient light level. Each button may comprise indicia indicating a function of the button.
