Where a PV SPD goes
A PV surge protection device sits on the DC side of a solar installation, at the string combiner box or the inverter DC input. Its maximum continuous voltage Ucpv must be at or above the highest open-circuit voltage of the string. The AC side of the inverter needs its own Type 2 SPD.

Send the maximum string voltage, the inverter or combiner box it is for, the part number if known and the quantity.

In this table Uc is the maximum continuous DC voltage of the device. Ratings are as CITEL publish them for each part. CITEL is made in France, and we are an authorised CITEL distributor. Prices are per piece, before GST at 18%. Parts marked 2 working days are held at our Secunderabad stock point; the others are supplied to order in the time shown. Order online from each part page with UPI, card or netbanking, or ask for a proforma invoice. Transit is 48–72 hours in South India and 5–7 days elsewhere. Every order carries a GST tax invoice.
How to choose
- String voltage: choose a device whose Uc is at or above the highest open-circuit voltage of the string, at the lowest site temperature.
- Type: Type 2 for most rooftop and ground-mount strings; Type 1+2 where the array or building has an external lightning protection system.
- Remote signalling: ask if you need a contact that reports the state of the device.
- Not sure? Send the string voltage and the combiner box details.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a solar DC SPD cost?
CITEL PV SPDs on this page start at ₹1,620 per piece before GST. The price of each part is in the table and on its part page.
Which SPD do I need for a 1000 V or 1500 V string?
Choose a device whose maximum continuous DC voltage is at or above the highest open-circuit voltage of the string. The table lists parts from 600 V to 1500 V dc.
Do I need an SPD on the AC side as well?
Yes. The AC output of the inverter needs its own Type 2 SPD at the AC distribution board.
How quickly can you supply?
Parts marked 2 working days are held in stock at Secunderabad and dispatched in that time. Others are supplied to order in the time shown in the table.
Can I order online?
Yes. Each part page has the price and an order button, with payment by UPI, card or netbanking. You can also ask for a proforma invoice.
Order online or ask for a quotation
Each part page has the price and an order button. For several parts or a proforma invoice, send the list and we quote on working days, usually the same day.
