Solar Power Inverter Surge Protection
Surge Protective Device (SPD) applications for Solar Power Inverter equipment provide critical protection from the dangers of transient voltage damage.
Solar and wind power, by nature, are intermittent. If a system is balanced to accommodate solar load, even a stray cloud can destroy that balance. Wind can gust from 0 to 60 mph in less than one minute, causing substantial voltage spikes and disturbances.
Although Inverter Designs are different for solar and wind applications, they are key components in both systems.
The inverter converts DC power generated by solar panels or wind turbine into usable AC power that is synchronized with the grid-tie system, which powers the electrical system in a stand-alone or battery storage design.
However, Inverters are full of electronics. Their purpose is to synchronize AC power with the grid-supplied power. Failure of inverters is unacceptable since the energy generation systems rely on them to properly function.
Solar panel installations require surge protection to protect costly inverters that can fail during lightning storms. Wind Turbines require surge protection to protect voltage regulators and motor driven generators. SPDs protect critical inverters on both the output (AC) and input (DC) electronics.
Multiple Types of Solar Power Inverters
Inverter equipment is constantly improving. Today, devices can have additional functionality. This improves overall capability compared to simply converting DC to AC.
Solar Power Inverter Application Choices can include:
- String Inverters
- Central Inverters
- Micro Inverters
- Battery Based Inverter-Chargers

Regardless of design type or function options, these critical pieces of solar equipment need High Quality, High Performance SPDs.
