Customization:
With a durable metal-and-plastic composite construction, the Suntree SPD ensures long-term reliability in harsh outdoor environments, such as solar photovoltaic systems. This material combination protects against corrosion and extreme weather, extending the device’s lifespan.
With its compact and modular design, you can seamlessly integrate the SPD into standard electrical panels, reducing installation time and effort compared to bulkier competitors*.
With a maximum discharge current of 20KA, the SPD effectively neutralizes dangerous surges caused by lightning or power fluctuations, offering 33% stronger protection than 15KA-rated models*.
Designed for 2P AC circuits in solar photovoltaic systems, this SPD safeguards sensitive equipment against voltage spikes, ensuring uninterrupted energy generation and distribution in residential or commercial setups.
Certified to meet international safety standards (e.g., IEC 61643-1), the SPD guarantees compliance with regulations, providing peace of mind for critical electrical infrastructure protection.
The Suntree Solar System Photovoltaic Power Lightning Arrester 2P is a robust surge protection solution designed for AC circuits. With a 20kA maximum discharge current rating and 380V nominal voltage, it safeguards photovoltaic systems against lightning strikes, overvoltages, and transient surges. Its compact, modular design ensures easy installation in standard electrical panels, while its durable materials (plastic/metal) and green operational indicator light enhance reliability and longevity.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Wilkins - Home PV System Owner
"Installed the Suntree 2P SPD on my rooftop solar array in March 2025, and it’s been flawless. We had a severe thunderstorm two months after installation, and while neighbors experienced inverter damage, mine stayed protected. The green status indicator gives peace of mind, and the plug-in terminals made DIY installation a breeze. Exactly what a homeowner needs for reliable, low-maintenance surge protection."Purchase Date: March 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lena Park - Renewable Energy Technician
"We’ve deployed the Suntree Base Model across three commercial solar sites since January 2024. In one location prone to lightning strikes, two units absorbed surges without failure—verified via post-event diagnostics. The IP54-rated housing holds up well under UV exposure and coastal humidity. It’s not just durable—it’s dependable. We’re now specifying Suntree SPDs in all new builds."Purchase Date: January 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Marcus Reed - Solar Installation Contractor
"Used this 2P arrester on six residential jobs over the past six months. The modular design integrates smoothly into standard breaker panels, saving about 30% on installation time compared to older models. One customer reported a power spike during a storm—SPD tripped but reset cleanly, and no downstream damage occurred. Only reason I’m not giving five stars is that the indicator light could be brighter for quick panel scans."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amina El-Sayed - Off-Grid Homesteader
"Living off-grid means every component counts. I added the Suntree 2P SPD to my hybrid solar setup in November 2024. After six months—including monsoon season—there’s no sign of corrosion, and the 380V nominal rating perfectly matches my inverter specs. Knowing my charge controller and batteries are shielded from surges is invaluable. For anyone serious about system longevity, this is a must-have."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Derek Foster - Farm Owner, Central Florida
"In Central Florida, lightning is a real threat. I installed the Suntree Base Model in February 2025 to protect my barn’s solar-powered irrigation system. Just last month, a nearby strike caused a voltage spike—SPD activated, and my inverter survived unscathed. The 20kA rating clearly makes a difference. Given how many generic protectors fail here, I’m impressed by its performance and build quality."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
