How to protect your solar power system from lightning

Grounding is the most fundamental technique for protection against lightning damage. You can''t stop a lightning surge, but you can give it a direct path to ground that bypasses your valuable equipment and safely discharges the surge into the earth. An electrical path to ground will constantly discharge static electricity that accumulates in an aboveground structure. Often, this

6 FAQs about [Lightning protection and grounding of industrial and commercial solar panels]

Why is lightning protection important for photovoltaic installations?

The lightning protection of photovoltaic installations is of great importance, in order to warrant the uninterrupted operation of the system and avoid faults and damages of the equipment. Atmospheric discharges influence the proper operation of the photovoltaic generators and their installation, involving also sensitive electronic equipment.

What is solar lightning protection?

Grounding is a technique to connect a part of the system electrically to the earth by means of a conductive material and is the key technique in Solar Lightning Protection. Earth could be considered as a sea of infinite electricity. Any charge/current that is transmitted to the earth is safely absorbed by it.

How to protect solar panels from lightning strikes?

Why is a mounting system connected to an external lightning protection system?

If the mounting system is directly connected to the external lightning protection system due to the fact that the separa-tion distance s cannot be maintained, these conductors be-come part of the lightning equipotential bonding system. Consequently, these elements must be capable of carrying lightning currents.

Does a lightning protection system need to be installed on a building?

The energy released by a lightning discharge is one of the most frequent causes of fire. Therefore, personal and fire protection is of paramount importance in case of a direct lightning strike to the building. At the design stage of a PV system, it is evident whether a lightning protection system is installed on a building.

Why is lightning protection important?

Therefore, their lightning protection is of great importance for uninterrupted operation, avoidance of faults, and equipment damage . Zaini et al. offered a reference for installing surge protection devices for PV systems to minimize potential damage in the Malaysian environment as the country is prone to frequent lightning strikes.
