For a few, the armor serves the role of solar panels, enhancing their natural solar energy absorption abilities and allowing them to augment their time limits.
Only a select number have them, implying they only appear in a few bloodlines. The protectors are pieces of natural armor generally located on the chest area of an Ultra, generally the front. They range from the type that covers most of the upper chest and back, those that covers the upper body and shoulders, those strips of material that cover the front and upper back and the occassional small pieces in front. Regardless of their size and/or shape they are noted as being the sturdiest part of an Ultras' anatomy.

Hudra, a Dark Giant possess a unique protector which not only covers his chest but also down to the left side of his waist. Some Ultras, such as Ultraseven and his son Zero, use their Protectors as solar panels. These protectors are noted for having a secondary texture in blocks all over their protectors. This absorption appears to be always present, as several times Seven has fought and showed no sign of the 'three minute rule' until it became dark.
