Midnite Solar Surge Protection Device SPD [ Full Install ]

The midnite Solar Surge Protection Device is designed to clamp down high voltage and send it to ground so that your expensive equipment is not damaged. This is the Midnite Solar SPD 600v unit. Installation of the surge protection device is easy. You simply need to connect the red wire to the positive of your solar, black wire to the negative solar wire, and lastly the green wire goes to earth ground. The Blue LED's indicate that the unit is working properly. The threads on the unit are 1/2".

The Midnight Solar instructions clearly state to avoid any bends in the wiring, yet you essentially created a 180 degree bend by using a wire nut on your ground.

Wouldnt you want the spd wired in the pv side of the breaker? The reason i ask is because it seems like the breaker would trip in the case of surge and excess power wouldnt be able to make it to the spd 🤔

Thanks for sharing this simple explanation of installing a SPD.

Nice and easy, thanks for sharing/showing this.

This was an easy install. With 6kw of solar the off grid battery has not dropped below 65% in 45 days.

QUESTION 2: Do you tie the ground wire from the solar array to the inverter room ground, and any other details would be great? thx

[@Just_An_Idea_For_Consideration]

QUESTION: Do you have a link on where to purchase the DC breaker and the breaker box?

[@bianchispurs]

put the wires to the pv + and - and ground, and that should protect my battery's also/ CORRECT? thanks Mine is an off grid system with no AC coming in.

Seem pretty silly to have a 1000V 400A breaker from you PV feed. Some very long series strings of panels could possibly add up to 1000V, but it takes a hell of a charge controller to handle that. And never will you ever see anywhere near 400A coming in. You should always do breakers that fit your system. Not so sure I trust this guys info.
