Are residential PV systems a lightning target?
Residential PV systems are generally installed on the rooftop of residential buildings, with a large metal surface area, higher distance from the ground and an exposed location. Such PV systems are therefore potential lightning targets during thunderstorms.
How do I protect my solar power system from lightning?
In this article, you will learn how to protect your solar power system from lightning. Drawing from decades of installer experience, we’ll explore the most cost-effective techniques generally accepted by power system installers. Grounding is the most fundamental technique for protection against lightning damage.
Can lightning damage a solar power system?
Lightning is a common cause of failures in photovoltaic (PV) and wind-electric systems. A damaging surge can occur from lightning that strikes a long distance from the system or between clouds. But most lightning damage is preventable. In this article, you will learn how to protect your solar power system from lightning.
What type of lightning strikes are most common in residential PV systems?
For residential PV systems, type one and type two lightning strikes are the most common: direct lightning and induced lightning strikes.
Do residential solar panels need a lightning protection system?
The operation of residential solar panels depends on sensitive electronic equipment which can be strongly affected by voltage surges causing degradation or deterioration of their components. They are therefore high-risk installations from a lightning protection point of view and must be provided with a suitable protection system.
What happens if a PV system is not protected against lightning?
Many PV systems may not be properly protected against lightning. Due to this exposure, the PV systems may be liable to suffer a crucial impact in a way that can lead towards severe damage for instances; failure of the electrical and electronic parts in the building or PV installation and disruption of their normal operation.
