    Abstract: The technology relates to a solar array kit useful in forming a solar array system, including a continuity signal generator and a detection circuit. The continuity signal generator has connectors for connecting to a solar array circuit and delivers a continuity signal to the solar array circuit. The detection circuit has connectors for connecting to the solar array circuit, a continuity signal sensor, at least one switch for selectively opening and closing the solar array circuit, and a switch controller. The switch controller has connectors for connecting to a power source and is adapted to actuate the switch upon receipt of a control signal from the detection circuit.
