6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic bracket company lightning protection]

How do I protect my PV system from lightning strikes?

To protect your PV system from direct lightning strikes, steps should be taken to ensure that the system is incorporated into the protective zone of the existing air termination system*. Additionally,* the correct surge and lightning equipotential bonding SPD’s should be installed where required on incoming services. In order to avoid this, the PV system should be protected.

Can a PV system be struck by lightning?

A PV system installed above the protective zone offered by the existing Lightning Protection System may be at risk of receiving a direct lightning strike. This could make the existing Lightning Protection System non-compliant and provide a path for lightning currents to enter the building and endanger life.

Can a photovoltaic system be tested with lightning and surge protection?

Find answers to frequently asked questions concerning lightning and surge protection for photovoltaic systems. The DEHN test centre is one of the most powerful impulse current laboratories worldwide. Here inverters and mounting systems can be thoroughly tested with a lighting current up to 400 kA.

Can lightning damage a photovoltaic installation?

Photovoltaic (PV) installations are at a high risk of damage due to both direct and indirect lightning strikes because of their exposed installation sites and large collection areas.

Why do you need a lightning protection system?

Due to its exposed position, it is particularly prone to damage caused by direct and indirect lightning effects. Comprehensive protection is therefore required. Take a look at some practical solutions for three different application scenarios: Protecting the modules, inverters and monitoring systems from the effects of electromagnetic impulses.

What happens if lightning strikes a PV system?

If a surge occurs when any personnel are present, it will jeopardize their safety as well. Indirect lightning strikes can be fatal if the person is within 60 feet from the point of the lightning strike . When a PV system is located on an industrial site, the business operations and equipment are also at jeopardy.
