Zener diodes, due to their lower cost and greater control, are commonly used in electric devices. They are also compatible with most systems, so they are a preferred method to regulate voltage. They are also used in other applications, such as in solar panels. Though these diodes don't often get damaged due to their current controls, they can still blow out if the current exceeds what they are equipped to handle. If this were to happen, the SCR would also likely blow out and both elements would need to be replaced. Luckily, Zener diodes are fairly easy to obtain due to their common use and low cost.
