Abstract
These last years Photovoltaic systems and all renewable technologies are worldwide growing topics. Some countries have developed this technology since more than 15 years but it is a real explosion phenomenon since only 2 years. This pushes all systems or devices manufacturers to start developing solutions quickly. Standardization organizations are also involved by this new technical trend and start to develop specific standards for specific Photovoltaic solutions. But as always in such a case, market is asking technological solution faster than standardization organization can write standards. This is of course the case for Surge Protective Devices (SPD) intended to be used on DC side of photovoltaic systems. Concerning the SPD for photovoltaic application, two main subjects can be highlighted for their selection: SPD's technology to deal with specific d.c. electrical characteristics for Photovoltaic. Architecture configuration of the SPD depending on photovoltaic grounding system, converter technology and SPD end of life behavior.
