[RE-wrenches] 600V Clamping on DC Lines

Has anyone encountered a system to use something like a Zener Circuit to
clamp a string input at 600Voc?
I've encountered many systems which, after designing for 600Voc, end up
with ~300-350Vmp, which is less than ideal on a long-distance run. Since
Voc should be a rare situation at the 2% temp, it seems like it would be
better to clamp the voltage in those situations, and design for optimum
performance in normal operation.
