To protect solar panels from the devastating effects of lightning, it’s important to implement proper surge protection measures. By ensuring the system is correctly grounded and installing surge protection devices, the risk of damage from lightning strikes can be greatly reduced.
Lightning can indeed damage solar panels. Those powerful strikes might cause harm to the system, from melting components to disrupting balance and efficiency. The severity of the damage depends on the strike’s directness. To protect your panels, consider surge protection like Citel DS72-RS-120 or Delta LA-302, and proper grounding.
Photovoltaic systems are vulnerable to both direct and indirect lightning strikes. Therefore, it is essential to build and install them with reliable surge protection. (References: [1] Lightning Protection Guide, DIN EN Standard 62305-3, 2014. [2])
Solar panels are vulnerable to damage from lightning strikes. Their large, often exposed and isolated location makes surge protection essential for their longevity. When lightning strikes, it creates an ionization of air in clouds with a concentration of electrical charge. This can lead to fires in solar fields.
Our standardized container products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
The installation of an external lightning protection system has the mission of avoiding direct impacts on the structure,and therefore in this case on the photovoltaic panels installed on its roof.
