FAQS 4

What is a roof lightning protection system?

Roof lightning protection systems are essential to protect buildings from lightning. Occupants and property are at risk if lightning strikes a building that doesn’t have one of these protective systems installed.

How to protect solar power systems from lightning?

Upon considering these aims, earthing systems, surge protection devices and air termination networks play a crucial role in providing lightning protection for solar power systems in line with the industry standards IEC 62305, IEC TR 63227 and IEC 61643-32, to protect against the negative impacts caused from lightning. Earthing System

Do solar panels need lightning protection?

Solar panel systems are complex and consist of various components that operate at both AC and DC voltages. Therefore, the lightning protection strategy must cover all aspects of the system. Common types of lightning arresters used in solar applications include:

What is solar lightning protection?

Grounding is a technique to connect a part of the system electrically to the earth by means of a conductive material and is the key technique in Solar Lightning Protection. Earth could be considered as a sea of infinite electricity. Any charge/current that is transmitted to the earth is safely absorbed by it.
