Technical FAQs 4

How do lightning protection systems work?

Lightning protection systems are designed to divert the powerful electrical energy of a lightning strike safely away from your solar system. This is achieved through a combination of components, including: Lightning Rods and Air Terminals: These metal rods are installed on the highest point of a structure, such as a rooftop.

Does a PV system need a lightning protection system?

Necessity of lightning protection on PV system and its barrier An effective lightning protection system (LPS) is necessary for a PV system depending on the location, construction type and utilisation.

How do I protect my solar system from lightning & surges?

For most residential and commercial solar installations, focusing on robust lightning and surge protection using high-quality SPDs like those from Midnite Solar and Delta is the most practical and cost-effective approach. This, combined with proper grounding and bonding, will safeguard your system against the vast majority of surge events.

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.
