Hi Ken:
If the dc lines are subject to lightning, e.g., solar panels, then transients can exist on the dc line. If the dc powers several equipments, then switching transients can exist on the dc line. The more equipment is connected to the dc, the more switching transients. In both situations, the transient voltages are likely to be microseconds duration.

The cap will load (to some extent) a transient, but it can't load dc.
