How to Surge Protect a Tesla Powerwall and Solar System
Solar and battery systems, like the Tesla Powerwall, create multiple electrical entry points into homes, leaving it especially vulnerable to surge damage. During a storm, direct or nearby lightning strikes as far away as one-quarter mile can send destructive surges straight to solar inverters and batteries! The best way to prevent damage to a Tesla Powerwall system is to install layered surge protection from TPD.

Why EV Chargers Fail: How Surge Protection and Voltage Regulation Can Help
EV chargers and EV charging stations are built around sensitive electronics that are directly tied to the electrical grid. When a vehicle is plugged in, the car connects to the home’s electrical system and may become the first thing in the line of fire for utility power surges. Additionally, small, everyday surges generated inside your home can degrade electronics over time. These problems can cause EV chargers to lock up, go offline, fault, and become unreliable. That is where properly installed surge protection from Transient Protection Design saves the day by preventing surge damage to your EV charging station, leading to less failures, shutdowns, and headaches.
