Technical FAQs 4

What is a lightning protection system for ground-mounted PV systems?

Protect components from avoidable damage and costly failures. A lightning protection system for ground-mounted PV systems protects them from direct lightning strikes and transient overvoltages. It protects the power plant area as well as the modules, the inverters and the plant monitoring system.

Does a PV system increase the risk of a lightning strike?

No, the risk of a lightning strike is not increased by the installation of a standard PV system on or near a building. How does surge protection for photovoltaic systems work? Surge protection for photovoltaic systems is crucial to protect the system from damage caused by unexpected voltage peaks.

Can lightning protection be combined with SMA inverters?

Also, special features of combining overvoltage protection devices with SMA inverters are described. The document covers lightning protection in as far as it influences overvoltage protection. Lightning protection systems are intended to prevent damage to buildings from lightning strikes.

Can a PV system withstand flashes of lightning & overvoltage?

In PV systems, the PV arrays are outdoors, frequently on buildings. Depending on the situation, the inverters are also installed outdoors. For this reason, even at the planning stage of the PV system, you should determine whether measures need to be taken to deal with flashes of lightning and overvoltage.
