I have a herd of these:

You need to match your circuit with the proper one. They can be had for less than the retail listed on Midnite's site.

I always lost sleep during sky spark season as we have lost a LOT of equipment to them. Had to reboard my Outback FX2524 Inverter 2X times from sky sparks.

I don't even worry at all since I installed the SPDs on all the incoming lines like grid AC, Turbine and Solar feeds. Sadly, they don't make them for phone lines, network cable, etc (yet).
