A lightning protection system not only protects the solar PV system but also provides reliable protection to your entire property and assets while safely diverting transient currents to the ground.
If you want to protect your investment, surge protection is not an option, it is a necessity, but if you want total protection and peace of mind, a lightning protection system can make the difference between the success and failure of large-scale solar power installations.
It also considers the required availability of the system. A risk analysis according to IEC 62305-2 is carried out to determine which external lightning protection measures are required, for example, which class of LPS needs to be considered in the planning and implemented in the lightning protection concept.
Distant lightning strikes or so-called indirect lightning strikes lead to conducted partial lightning currents (impulse waveform 10/350 μs) in the supply lines, or also to induced / capacitive couplings (impulse 8/20 μs) in the electronic components of the storage system itself (so-called LEMP = Lightning ElectroMagnetic Pulse) (Figure 1).
Please try again later. IEC 62305 – Protection Against Lightning, is the apex level document that informs the standards for lightning protection around the world. It is a design standard that comprises of four documents that provide the lightning protection designers with the rules and regulations they require to design an LPS.
If lightning strikes in the direct vicinity, it damages buildings and the infrastructure: Lightning strikes can cause fires or surge damage to electrical devices and systems. The latter also applies to lightning strikes up to 2 km away.
