Outdoor electrical systems attract lightning.  Lighting doesn't have to hit your installation, a strike close by can destroy components in a renewable energy system, leading to costly repairs and unpredictable power outages.  Protect your investment from the hazards of nature with a lightning arrestor on the DC and AC circuits of your renewable energy system.

Use a surge arrestor to protect AC and DC circuits of a photovoltaic or wind energy installation from lightning strikes.    Three wires make installation quick and simple, while rugged electronic components can handle an infinite number of "surges" however a heavy or continuous high voltage can burn them out.

In the event of a lightning strike or surge the surge arrestor conducts the charge bleeding it out of the circuit to ground.
