    Abstract: A short-circuiting switch for an electrical energy production installation is provided. The short-circuiting switch comprising at least one photovoltaic panel is adapted for simultaneously establishing a short-circuit at the installation ends and a short-circuit at the ends of an electrical network connected to the installation ends. It comprises an element, mobile in rotation about an axis between a first position, in which two conducting tracks of the mobile element which are distinct conduct the current between, on one hand, a first terminal connected to the installation and a first terminal connected to the network, and, on the other hand, a second terminal connected to the installation and a second terminal connected to the network, and a second position in which the mobile element simultaneously establishes and maintains the short-circuit at the ends of the installation and at the ends of the network and electrically isolates the installation from the network.
