Photovoltaic (PV) solar inverter systems convert DC from solar arrays to AC usable by the grid or loads, but are exposed to transient voltage surges, electrostatic discharge (ESD) and conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) from switching events, lightning-induced transients and nearby power electronics. YINT Electronics’ solar inverter protection architecture uses gas discharge tubes (GDT) for high-energy surge diversion, MOV surge arresters to absorb mains and harness surges, TVS transient suppressors for fast voltage clamping, and ultra-low capacitance ESD protection arrays to safeguard communication and control lines. This multi-layer protection ensures stable, robust operation of PV inverters, enhances power quality and extends system life in diverse environmental conditions.
