Midnite Solar Surge Protection Devices

MidNite Solar offers a range of surge protection devices (SPDs) designed to protect solar power systems and their components from voltage spikes and transient surges. Surge protection is critical in solar installations as it helps safeguard expensive equipment like inverters, charge controllers, and solar panels from potential damage caused by lightning strikes, grid voltage fluctuations, or other electrical disturbances.
