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.

How does lightning protection work?

Lightning protection controls the PATH of the lightning after it hits. Like it or not, that is about the best you can do. It's not lightning that causes the damage, it's lightning going through places you don't want it to. At any instant, there are more than 2,000 thunderstorms taking place throughout the world.

Do I need a grounding system for lightning protection?

For lightning protection, you may need to take steps beyond the code minimum requirements. The Purpose of Grounding: Equipment: Panel frames and mounts are grounded in order to provide the easiest path for lightning to get to the ground.

Are lightning arrestors and surge protectors a substitute for good grounding?

Lightning arrestors and surge protectors are designed to protect electronic equipment by absorbing electrical surges. However, these devices are not a substitute for good grounding. They function only in conjunction with effective grounding. The grounding system is an important part of your wiring infrastructure.
