☀️ Protect Your Solar Investment – Type 2 DC Surge Protection for PV Systems

  • Purpose-Built for Solar: Specifically designed to protect DC-side components like inverters, charge controllers, and combiner boxes.

  • Type 2 Protection: Handles indirect lightning strikes and switching surges (8/20µs waveform) – the most common threats to PV systems.

  • 2-Pole (2P) Design: Safeguards both positive (+) and negative (-) DC conductors for complete coverage.

  • High Surge Capacity: Up to 40kA discharge capacity – handles major surge events.

  • Wide Voltage Range: Available in 500V, 600V, 800V, and 1000V DC models for residential to utility-scale arrays.

  • Visual Status Indicator: Green means protected – at-a-glance peace of mind.

  • DIN Rail Mount: Easy installation in combiner boxes, inverter enclosures, and DC panels.

Your solar PV system represents a significant investment – and it's constantly exposed to one of nature's most destructive forces: lightning and power surges. Mounted on rooftops or in open fields, solar arrays are particularly vulnerable to indirect lightning strikes and switching surges from inverters, which can travel through DC lines and destroy expensive components.

The PV DC Surge Protective Device (SPD) Type 2 is specifically engineered to protect solar inverters, charge controllers, and other DC-side equipment from damaging transient overvoltages. With its Type 2 classification (8/20µs waveform), it's designed to handle the most common threats to PV systems: indirect lightning strikes and switching surges.

The 2-pole (2P) design safeguards both positive and negative conductors, while the high surge capacity (up to 40kA) ensures robust protection for residential, commercial, and utility-scale installations. Available in voltage ratings from 500V to 1000V DC, you can choose the exact model that matches your system voltage.

Don't let a surge destroy your inverter or panels. Protect your solar investment with dedicated PV DC surge protection.

[Why Solar PV Systems Need DC Surge Protection]

Threat Source Consequence
Indirect Lightning Strike to ground near array Massive induced voltages on DC lines
Switching Surges Inverter IGBT switching High-frequency noise, transients
Grid Switching Utility operations Transients through transformer
Array Imbalance Fault conditions Overvoltage events
Nearby Strikes Lightning to nearby structures Surges coupled into DC wiring
