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.
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.
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.
Lightning arrestor is a more general term that sometimes refers to the entire lightning protection system (rods, conductors, grounding). However, it often is used to refer to the protection on the high voltage AC side of an electrical system, like you would find on a power pole.
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).
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.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%.
