About this product
600V DC Surge Protective Device. Wires into the DC side of your PV system (typically at the combiner box or the inverter DC input) and shunts voltage spikes to ground before they damage the inverter, charge controller, or string optimizers.
The DC side of a roof array is the most exposed surface for lightning-induced surges. An SPD is cheap insurance for the most expensive components in the stack. Type 2 SPD with a modular cartridge design.
More Disconnects, Breakers & Protection
IMO DC Disconnect Isolator Switch
A DC disconnect / isolator switch for use between the PV array (or combiner) and the inverter. Lets you de-energize the DC side of the system for service or inspection without working hot wires. Required by NEC on most permitted PV installs as part of the DC disconnect requirement. Lockable handle for lock-out / tag-out during service. 600V DC rated.

Lightning and Surge Arrestor | 300 AC
300V AC Surge Protective Device. Wires into the AC side of your system (typically at the AC combiner or the main service panel) and shunts voltage spikes from lightning, utility grid disturbances, or large motor starts to ground before they reach your inverter, battery, or sensitive loads. Solar systems are surge magnets because they tie a grounded metal roof full of exposed conductors to the rest of the electrical system. An SPD is cheap insurance against a roof-strike incident that would otherwise wreck the inverter and the BMS. Type 2 SPD with a modular cartridge, so you swap the cartridge if it fires instead of replacing the whole unit.
