Hans, Here is a split ferrite kit (various sizes) from Mouser.com:
https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Laird-Performance-Materials/K-404-EMI-A-LG?qs=GedFDFLaBXEg9IWU3Su8DQ%3D%3D <https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Laird-Performance-Materials/K-404-EMI-A-LG?qs=GedFDFLaBXEg9IWU3Su8DQ==> Sol-Ark makes an EMP hardened inverter and that kit comes with ferrite cores for each solar panel. Both normal and EMP version come with ferrite cores for the battery cables, Schnieder 600V solar charge controllers comes with cores and older inverters also came with cores. so, it seems cores are good even for regular systems, such as to combat back EMF from larger motor loads / inductive loads. So, the bottom line is that is helpful to block line surges by using ferrite cores to suppress voltage spikes & surges. And like lightning, you can do the best that you can do and too many parameters can guarantee anything. I going to investigate further and make kits for my own customers. Good luck!
