6 FAQs about [Solar photovoltaic power generation on the roof attracts lightning]

Can Lightning affect a roof top PV system?

It has been shown that for buildings with roof top PV systems only the avoidance of lightning attachment to unprotected parts of the building is not sufficient. Lightning currents passing through the lightning protection system may still affect the PV power system through inductive coupling.

How does Lightning affect a PV system?

After studying the influences of lightning strikes on the PV system and modeling methods, it is mandatory to design a protection system for the PV system during lightning. The lightning protection system (LPS) is used to protect the PV system from damage and service interruption.

Do PV systems need a lightning protection system?

The necessities of lightning protection on the PV systems and its barrier, the need for different lightning protection system on PV systems as well as its recommended practices are also discussed in this paper.

Can a PV rooftop system withstand lightning strikes in Malaysia?

The PV Rooftop system is commonly located in high-rise buildings which makes it very prone to lightning strikes .As far as Malaysia is concerned, no standards exist on lightning protection for PV systems, except for MS 1837:2010 which focuses on the PV installation.

Do lightning currents affect PV power system through inductive coupling?

Lightning currents passing through the lightning protection system may still affect the PV power system through inductive coupling. Hence strategic placement of PV systems and shielding of conducting systems wherever possible has been recommended.

How does PV support affect Lightning transients?

The structure of PV support has a great impact on lightning transients . The mounting support, as the skeleton of PV system, determines the mechanical strength. The power plant is in an open area makes the system vulnerable to lightning strikes.
