Technical FAQs 4

How important is lightning protection & grounding for a PV system?

As the adoption of commercial and industrial (C&I) photovoltaic (PV) power plants grows, ensuring their safety and reliability becomes more crucial than ever. One of the most overlooked yet critical aspects of PV system safety is lightning protection and grounding.

Does a building need a grounding system for a solar system?

Proper lightning protection ensures system longevity and minimizes the risk of costly repairs or downtime. Another widespread belief is that a building’s existing grounding system is sufficient for protecting solar installations. While some structures may have grounding in place, it is not always adequate for photovoltaic (PV) systems.

Does a lightning protection system work on a grid-connected photovoltaic park?

Abstract: In this paper, the performance of a lightning protection system (LPS) on a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) park is studied by simulating different scenarios with the use of an appropriate software tool.

What are the design and control strategies for a solar and wind hybrid system?

The specific design and control strategies for a solar and wind hybrid system connected to the grid may vary depending on factors like system size, location, available resources, and local regulations, even though a hybrid-grid system may occasionally show load distribution anomalies due to seasonal changes.
